Description
A striking antique oil portrait featuring a solemn 19th-century gentleman, beautifully set in an elaborately carved giltwood frame. With its generous scale (37.25" H x 32" W including frame), this piece brings instant gravitas and old-world charm to any space. The portrait itself measures 25" x 30" and is rendered in deep, moody tones€”ideal for anchoring a gallery wall, adding depth to a study or library, or creating contrast in a more modern, whimsical interior.
The frame is richly detailed with shell and scroll motifs at each corner, showing age-related wear that enhances its antique appeal. Whether you're styling a maximalist space or curating a refined, collected-over-time aesthetic, this portrait delivers character and presence.
