A beautiful oil on board dating to the early 19th century. This intense portrait of an unknown sitter has a great sense of mood and the texture of the sitter's clothing is exquisitely painted.

The painting's varnish has a strong patina to it which adds character to the piece and accentuates the sitter's mysterious eyes and expression.

The paining is housed within a walnut frame - likely the original.
