A gentleman of noble birth! This 19th century portrait depicts a formally dressed man in dark coat and high collar, painted in the restrained style typical of family portraits commissioned to mark status and legacy. Portraits like this were often displayed prominently in the home, quietly watching over generations of family life. The canvas is housed in a gilt frame and both the painting and frame remain in very good condition. Who exactly he is looking at we may never know.
Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.
