"Elegant Portrait Of A Young Man From The 19th Century "
Elegant portrait of a 19th-century dandy, done in graphite with charcoal and white chalk highlights, on tinted paper. Very refined, with his frock coat, bow tie and carefully drawn hairstyle, testifies to the taste and social status of the model, in the romantic and bourgeois spirit of the time. The artist, with a precise hand, captures the calm presence and discreet assurance of the character. Framed in a modern gilded baguette, this drawing embodies the subtle charm of the intimate 19th-century portrait, both a historical document and a sensitive work of art.
