A striking vintage French portrait of an older gentleman, painted with expressive, confident brushwork. His characterful face is the real focus of the piece, with strong features and a wonderfully thoughtful, introspective expression. The dark, earthy palette gives the portrait a depth and atmosphere that feels particularly evocative.
There’s an added surprise on the reverse: a colourful still life of tulips, a teapot and cup, painted in a much brighter palette of yellow, teal and pink.
A particularly interesting and unusual piece for anyone drawn to characterful vintage portraits and French paintings.
