Portrait of a young man wearing glasses,
gouache on paper
13 x 10.5 cm oval view
In a vintage frame : 41.5 x 39 cm, accidents and lacks in the gilding but but for the most part not visible from the front (see details photographs please)
The style is reminiscent of German portraiture. In particular, we are immediately reminded of a portrait of the young Franz Schubert, who wore exactly the same glasses and dates from the same period.
It is quite likely that our portrait was created in the same artistic milieu. In any case, it is a portrait of great finesse with scrupulous attention to detail. It is also carefully framed with this ancient frame quite imposing.
