Portrait of a nobleman
Oil on canvas, 42.5 x 32 cm
Frame: 51 x 40 cm - Coeval, in gilded wood with richly decorated corners, shows signs of time
Elegant male portrait of the 19th century Lombard school, executed with fine painterly sensitivity and careful physiognomic rendering. The nobleman, depicted with a decisive and penetrating gaze, is wrapped in an ample dark robe that enhances the whiteness of his shirt and tie, embellished with a jewelled brooch, distinctive elements of the clothing of the period. The sober, shaded background helps to emphasise the expressive intensity of the subject.
The work shows a confident and detailed brushstroke, with a calibrated use of light that gives volume and depth to the figure. The essential and refined colour palette emphasises the solemnity of the figure, while the well-modulated chiaroscuro enhances its plasticity.
The painting is in good overall condition, with some signs of time on the painted surface. The gilded frame, coeval, shows some wear and minor faults that testify to its authenticity and history.
