"Pastel Signed Portrait Of A Young Boy From The 1st Empire Period, 1806"
Very beautiful portrait of a young boy in a typical blue nattier suit from the 1st Empire period. To the right of the portrait an illegible signature, semi-erased, and a date that seems to be 1806. Under a gilded beveled mat, under protective glass and in an Empire period wooden frame decorated with palmettes and urns whose gold leaf gilding is original. Pastel in very good original condition. Note a few small holes like pinheads due to time only in the right part, not hindering the portrait. Dimensions of the pastel, 28.5x22 cm Total dimensions, with frame, 55.3x47 cm
