This is a striking portrait of an English painter dressed in garnet velvet and wearing his artist's cap. Great nobility emanates from his gaze, directed to the right, opening up the painting's perspective. Our painting shows great attention to detail, both in terms of dress and the character's psychology.
Good condition.
