Splendid male portrait painted with tempera on cardboard. The depicted person has knotted mustaches and wears an elegant dark suit typical of the Art Nouveau period. The artistic mastery in painting the figure is extraordinary, giving it an aura of nobility. The signature on the work is not easily identifiable, but the artist is clearly attributable to the French school of the late 19th century. The painting is framed in a carved and gilded wooden frame with pure gold leaf, decorated with floral motifs.
