Portrait of a Gentleman

This is a 19th-century portrait of a gentleman, executed in sanguine and pastel on paper. The work is signed and inscribed, though the inscription is difficult to fully decipher from the image. The artist has skillfully used the warm tones of sanguine and the delicate application of pastel to create a lifelike and expressive depiction of the subject. The portrait is presented within a simple, aged frame, adding to its antique character.

Condition and Collectibility

The portrait shows signs of age, consistent with its period. There is some foxing and minor staining to the paper, and the frame exhibits wear and imperfections. Despite these minor flaws, the portrait remains a captivating example of 19th-century portraiture. This piece would appeal to collectors of antique portraits, works on paper, or those interested in historical depictions of individuals.
