His white beard and strong features give the figure an authoritative presence, while the sideward glance adds psychological depth. The painting is signed "Ciro De Rosa" in the lower right, and continues the visual dialogue with the Neapolitan figurative tradition of the 1600s.

Executed on hand-primed jute canvas, stretched on a round wooden support, this work displays fine craftsmanship and expressive finesse. The mastery of chiaroscuro brings volume and dignity to the figure.

The original carved wooden frame, gilded with gold leaf and adorned with ornate relief corner decorations, enhances the solemnity and antique allure of the portrait.

This is one of four complementary works by the same artist, ideal to be displayed alone, in pairs, or as a full set for a striking wall composition.

Dimensions:
Painting: Ø 26 cm
with frame: approx. 40 x 40 cm

Excellent condition, ready to hang. A collector’s piece for classic interiors or for those who appreciate refined historical portraiture.
