Italian school (XIX) - Retrato

Portrait of a Saint from the 18th-19th century, frame measurements are 61 x 51 cm. This painting is an oil on canvas that depicts an elderly man or apostle with a white beard, a common theme in 19th-century Spanish realism. This style is characterized by expressive brushstrokes and a detailed study of light on the features of the face and the beard, a technique typical in the "study heads" of the era.
