French school, ca. 1820. "Portrait of a gentleman. Oil on canvas. Round period frame with losses. Measurements: 54 x 45 cm; 68 x 59 cm (frame). In this work we see a typical nineteenth-century portrait, with the gentleman of three quarters in the foreground. The gentleman wears a black suit and a white shirt. He covers his shoulders with a velvety burgundy sash, and appears to be looking directly at the viewer, although his proud attitude establishes a certain distance from us.
