Esattore vittoriano, a 1960-1970 oil-on-canvas portrait in Art Déco style, origin Europe, sold with frame.
Description from the seller
Exceptionally without reservation!
Magnificent 20th-century male portrait depicting an illustrious figure in ceremonial attire, rendered with great attention to detail and the solemnity of the pose. The man, seated with an authoritative posture, wears a sumptuous black robe adorned with rich gold embroidery, giving the work a strong visual impact.
The scene is made even more elegant by the red drape in the background, which creates a warm and regal contrast, while the facial features — soft, expressive, and well-defined — give the portrait a dignified and penetrating character.
Note also the symbolic elements: the book resting on the table, a sign of culture and status, and the white wig, typical of high-ranking institutional figures.
The whole is enhanced by a beautiful, crafted gold frame, perfectly matched to the style of the artwork.
The work shows normal signs of aging due to its age.
Photographs taken under direct spotlight to highlight every detail.
Fast, professional shipping with very careful packaging: hence the related shipping costs.
In accordance with current regulations on works of art, no lots will be shipped outside Europe (Schengen area), except by private agreement at the buyer's expense.
