Portrait of a young man
oil on metal
10.2 x 7.7 cm
Framed under glass : 24.4 x 21.8 cm
This small portrait painting, quite original in its technique, is close to miniature painting. It was undoubtedly a portrait intended to remain very intimate in order to remember the appearance of a loved one.
There is a real talent for psychological penetration in the way the model scrutinises us with a slightly dreamy air, which makes this small painting so charming.
