French School of the 19th Century
A Man bust-length
Oil on wood panel

In good condition. The painter chose to deal with the roughness of his support, which is why there are irregularities in the surface, on the edges and a lack in the lower left corner, as shown in the detail photos.

This nude study of a male bust clearly belongs to the register of the academies, but instead of painting his model in full, the artist has chosen to concentrate on his upper body and face. It's a true study of expression, a portrait of the model whose concentration he transcribes.
There are few clues as to the artist's identity, but the precise yet lively style reveals an original personality.
