with its dark, atmospheric background and the subject's serene, illuminated face, this painting is the ultimate "Instant Ancestor" or "Dark Academia" statement piece. It brings instant "Old World" soul to a space and looks incredibly chic when juxtaposed with crisp modern interiors, hung in a sophisticated library, or displayed resting atop a sleek Mid-Century Modern credenza.

​The artwork is housed in a beautiful, period-appropriate classical giltwood frame featuring a delicate beaded inner edge, perfectly complementing the painting's historic weight. This piece has an attribution mark,
