Italian school (XIX) - Ritratto

Refined oil on terracotta tile depicting a male portrait in a late 19th-century taste, characterized by a composition rich in symbolic elements related to abundance and commerce, such as coins, banknotes, and floral motifs. The subject, elegantly dressed in a dark suit and bow tie, is rendered with good painting quality, particularly in the definition of the face and expression. The work presents an academic painting technique, typical of European production between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The terracotta support makes the piece unusual and decorative, probably intended for ornamental use. In generally good condition, with signs of wear, abrasions and small edge losses consistent with age.

Dimensions: 12.5 x 12.3 x 0.9 cm.
