Le Père

Antique French oil portrait painting: A beautiful painting from the XIX century French school. This portrait of an elegant man, certainly part of the bourgeoisie, has great technical mastery. The realism of the facial features is exquisite. The painter reproduced perfectly the physiognomic details thanks to the mastered use of light and shadows on the features. The slightly severe expression of the model is brought to perfection and electrifies the gaze of whoever crosses it.
