This lot consists of an intriguing oil painting on canvas, done in the Dutch style, handsomely complemented by a wide frame and a dark finish. In its depth, we see all the fine details of the likeness of a mannered gentleman. We see his Flemish collar and fine grooming, and a recognizable flicker in his eyes. A signature is not legible to this author (artist unknown). This framed piece measures approximately 16.5" x 15.25"; image sight approximately 10" x 9".
