This painting of an 18th century young man in his finery and sword is a fresh perspective of the more common portraiture style of 17th and 18th centuries. The contrast of a heavier use of paint and textural brushstrokes, to the subject in more formal attire, which is usually captured in a more refined style, makes for an exciting piece of art that creates an instant affinity for those turned off by more formal portrait styles. Purchased in France. Artist unknown.
