Oil On Paper Early XIX : Portrait Of Man

I was immediately seduced by the touch of this picture the first time I saw it. The intensity of the glance that makes one think of the portraits of Géricault, the white shirt collar highlighting the violet of the headscarf, the fact that it seems a worker coated for the pose have me put it in my "masonry" during a dozen years! It has reached its maturity and I return it to other amateurs who may know to give him an author. It is an oil on paper (still a seductive detail for the lovers of painting!) Having suffered badly, presenting old restorations, gaps and even a series of holes (dog's paws?) Also crossing the canvas on which she is marouflé. Dimensions 60 X 48.4 cm approximately. Unframed. We have many paintings to restore at our shop in Pau for which we prefer to sell on site, preferably in lots!
