A splendid early to mid-20th-century oil portrait depicting a charismatic elderly gentleman in profile, whose striking features, distinguished silver hair and discreet golden earring lend him an unmistakably individual and captivating presence. There is something wonderfully intriguing about the sitter, with his penetrating gaze, strong character and hint of roguish charm. The assured brushwork, subtle tonal variations and beautifully observed details reveal the hand of a gifted painter.
A true addition to any art collection.
