19th-century French School Portrait of a Gentleman, Oil on Canvas

19th century
Description

A late-19th-century French school portrait of a gentleman wearing a dark coat, white shirt and black bow tie. He carries an air of a stoic hard-working character that’s endured a turbulent life.

His style fits alongside other portraits from the 1880s when collars were stiff and bow ties were popular. He’s probably wearing a waistcoat under his suit jacket and may also carry a pocket watch.

The portrait is housed within a beautiful swept frame with foliate ornamentation that’s probably the original.

Medium: Oil on wood

Overall size: 13½” x 15½” / 34cm x 39cm

Year of creation: c. 1880

Provenance: England, originally France

Condition: Areas of deep craquelure but the paint layer is stable under varnish. Frame with losses and age-related wear.
