"Young Man Sitting On Rocks, XIX School"
Oil on canvas representing a naked young man sitting on rocks holding a book in his hand, his face slightly in profile, in the distance the sea; Nice "subject", the man is painted quite realistically, the rocks and the bottom are painted in oil wash, which gives this painting all its poetry, it may be a preparatory painting, indeed the subject is "well" painted and the backgrounds treated fairly "quickly" The work is not signed but it is undeniably a "good" painter of the 19th century The canvas is original with a frame with keys, proof of quality Beautiful painting, very decorative
