"Portrait Of An Elegant Young Man, Oil On Canvas, Circa 1840, Man With A Moustache"
Beautiful portrait of an elegant young man, unsigned oil on canvas, circa 1840. Our subject perfectly embodies the men's fashion of the 1840s, a period in which the craze for beards and mustaches appears. This new style then becomes very fashionable and the wearing of a mustache will even become systematic in the second half of the 19th century. This painting is in good house condition, it is presented in a twentieth century frame in molded wood in gold and dark green. Canvas dimensions only: 65cm x 54.5cm
