19th-century French School oil painting on carton signed A. Duveau (19th and 20th century) and dated 1897. The artwork's surface is smooth to the touch.
This rare bust portrait captures a man gazing out of a window. The artist has employed delicate brushstrokes to intricately depict the character, while adopting a more spontaneous approach for the surrounding vegetation. This interplay of techniques generates a captivating visual dynamic, effectively tempering the gravity of the character and his demeanor. The vintage carved frame further enhances the piece's allure.
