Portrait Of A Hunter, Oil On Canvas, Romantic Period - Circa 1840 - 72 X 84cm

French School of the early 19th century, portrait of an aristocrat or notable richly dressed in hunting costume with his rifle, he seems to be pointing at his hunting board. Oil on canvas from the Restoration period, 1840s. Beautiful portrait typical of the Romantic period, of which we have not managed to identify the painter at this stage, but it is the work of a good master. The face is very expressive, there is no fault of proportion, the grain of the skin and the play of shadow are well rendered, particularly the two hands, which are always the most difficult parts. The model is beautiful, visibly a member of the aristocracy or the good bourgeoisie. Beautiful piece to complete a collection of portraits or a decor from the early 19th century. It is presented in a rich wooden and stucco frame gilded with gold leaf. Excellent condition, painting on its original canvas, cleaned and without repainting. Frame with its original gilding well preserved and cleaned. Frame: 84.5cm x 72.3cm Canvas: 73cm x 60cm
