AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Exceptionally without reservation!

An intensely masculine portrait of strong character, depicting a figure with a deep, melancholic expression, captured in a composed and meditative pose. The face, gaunt and marked, is rendered with dense and vibrant brushstrokes that convey great psychological strength and humanity to the subject.

The warm palette, dominated by ochre, browns, and earthy reds, helps create an intimate and timeless atmosphere. The deliberate use of chiaroscuro shapes the facial features and intensifies the gaze, granting the work a notable expressive intensity. The neutral background further enhances the figure, isolating it and making it the absolute protagonist of the composition.

A painting with strong emotional impact, ideal for collectors drawn to expressive portraiture and 20th-century character-driven painting. Comes with a wooden frame, in keeping with the sober and authentic tone of the work.

Please note that, given the age of the work, there may be small defects, minor signs of wear, breaks or missing parts: natural elements that attest to its authenticity and history.
The photographs were taken under direct spotlight light, to highlight every detail.

Our shipments are fast, professional, and packaged in perfect protection: hence the related shipping costs.

In accordance with the current regulations on works of art, shipments outside Europe (Schengen area) entail significantly higher costs and may cause delays, customs difficulties, or other problems, which remain entirely at the buyer's expense and responsibility, unless private agreements.

Seller's Story

For years passionate about the world of art, antiquing, and vintage, driven by an authentic and profound passion. Raised in a family that has preserved and passed down the culture of art for three generations, I have developed a keen eye for detail and an innate love for beauty in all its forms. Every piece tells a story, and my commitment is to ensure that these stories continue to live on and inspire.
