A 19th Century oil portrait of a gentleman

This dark and characterful, original oil portrait painting is the perfect decorator’s piece.

This chap has a great look, in dark, muted tones.

Oil on canvas, stretched on its wooden frame.

Most likely an overpainted photograph which was common in the later Victorian period where a photograph could be used as the template for an artist to paint over.

An interesting piece which displays well.

Ready to grace any wall.
