A richly painted and theatrical oil on canvas by British artist Alex de Andreis (1880–1929), celebrated for his romanticized depictions of 17th-century court figures, cavaliers, and musketeers. This commanding portrait features a finely attired gentleman in period dress, captured mid-pose with a knowing gaze. Wearing a dramatic plumed hat, an emerald green waistcoat adorned with pink ribbons, and an elaborate lace cravat, the subject is rendered with de Andreis’s characteristic precision and flair for historical costume.

Set against a classically inspired architectural backdrop, the figure exudes authority and charm. The artist's expert handling of fabric, texture, and expression imbues the work with a sense of vitality and noble bearing. Signed De Andreis at the lower right in bold script.

The painting is presented in a richly carved and gilded Rococo-style frame, complementing the composition’s opulence. Framed dimensions: 27" high x 32" wide. Canvas size: 21" high x 25.5" wide.
