"French School, Portrait Of A Pensive Monk, Oil On Canvas To Be Restored, 19th Century"

Large oil on canvas depicting a pensive monk (Franciscan?), leaning on a pile of books, undoubtedly meditating on the Scriptures or the writings of the Fathers and Doctors. The canvas presents a certain number of damages documented at best on the photographs: perforations, dents, and a partial detachment from the stretcher. It would need restoration to reveal its full potential. Despite these conservation problems, the subject is pleasant, the touch and light mastered. Dimensions 730 x 595 mm
