European School (19th-20th Centuries) - Hans-christian Andersen

- Oil on canvas. - This portrait of Hans Christian Andersen, painted at the end of the 19th century, captures the famous Danish writer in a representation of great distinction and sobriety, which at the same time reflects his unique personality and his indisputable importance in the canon of European literature. The work shows Andersen with his characteristic blond hair, which unfurls in soft and luminous waves, a personal mark that, like his gaze, denotes a sense of curiosity and sensitivity, essential characteristics that defined his prolific literary career. The composition highlights the aquiline nose, another distinctive feature of the author, which contrasts with the soft profile of his face, giving him an appearance that is both determined and thoughtful. - Dimensions of the unframed image: 68 x 50 cm / 78 x 60 cm with beautiful gilded frame. - It comes from a private collection of paintings in Barcelona.
