Description:
This is a very interesting portrait of a French "citoyen" dating to the early post-revolution 19th c. The painting has suffered during the last 200 years years, but maintains great integrity in the subject matter. I have had the painting relined and stabilized, but have left the painting without retouching or in-painting. The artist was clearly a talented painter who was intimately familiar with his subject matter. The painting gives a true reflection of the common man of the era, not unlike the common man depicted in the works of Goya of the same time-frame. Francis Bacon would probably love this image. I have left the painting in the frame in which it came, but I think that it could also be hung without frame. This painting is well-priced with the condition issues reflected in the price point.
