This authentic, hand-painted, original Oil Painting dates from Year 1856 and presents a seated gentleman rendered against a dark background. The visible portion shows his composed face, dark coat, and a hint of a red chair, all painted with careful, visible brushwork that creates a subtly textured paint surface. The gilded frame surrounding the canvas shows age and complements the warm tones of the portrait. This one-of-a-kind work offers a direct, intimate presence that would enrich a discerning collector’s holdings. Year 1856. The painting measures 51 × 43 cm (20.1 × 16.9 inches) (framed, if shown) and weighs: 1.93 kg (4.3 lbs). If you see a frame in the pictures, it comes with the artwork :)
