The long beard, strong facial features, and classical robe evoke the timeless dignity of ancient thinkers. The work is signed "Ciro De Rosa" in the lower left and reflects the deep influence of 17th-century Neapolitan painting in both technique and expression.
The portrait is painted on hand-gessoed jute canvas, mounted on a circular handcrafted wooden stretcher. The light plays delicately across the face and chest, highlighting the artist’s skill in capturing mood and form.
The original frame in carved wood, finished with gold leaf and ornamental corner details, perfectly complements the solemn and noble character of the figure.
This painting is part of a cohesive series of four portraits by the same artist. Each can be appreciated individually, but they also form an elegant ensemble when displayed as a group.
Dimensions:
Painting: Ø 26 cm
with frame: approx. 40 x 40 cm
Excellent condition, ready to hang. A refined choice for classic interiors, offices, or collectors of evocative figurative art.
