Camille Baratte - Portrait d’homme en costume ancien

Camille Baratte — Portrait of a Man in an Old-fashioned Suit

Graphite on paper, France, circa 1940–1950. Framed dimensions: 47 cm in height × 31.5 cm in width. Signed “Camille Baratte” bottom right.

A man with curly hair, a raised mustache, and a pointed beard turns to face the viewer. A broad lace collar covers his shoulders. The graphite is laid down with regular hatch marks for the shadows, while the curls and lace are depicted with precise lines. The costume evokes 17th-century portraits.

Condition: tear on the right side and a small tear at the top, creases and marks on the paper. Sold without the frame.
