Continental School, 19th century. "Portrait of An Elegant Gentleman", oil on canvas, apparently unsigned. Painting depicts a young raven haired gentleman dressed in formal leather armor with white high collared shirt showing at top detailed with a pair of tassels, white ruffled sleeves peeking from the bottom of each sleeve, a white silk bow tied onto his right bicep, and a gold band on his right forefinger. Figure is standing in front of a black hanging drape with a glimpse of landscape peeking out to the right side. Framed 44" x 34.5", unframed 37" x 28".
Finely rendered painting has been relined. Under black light examination, scattered retouching on figure's face including mustache and cheek. Scattered craquelure commensurate with age, however, paint layer appears to be stable. Two losses on side of frame. Frame may be original to work. Minor loss of paint lower right edge. No other signs of damage, loss or repair.
