Antique German Oil Portrait on Board
$165.00
German oil portrait on board, signed and dated 1901 lower left, portraying a contemplative and intimate scene: a man seated in profile, absorbed in playing a flute. Rendered in warm, earthy tones with a chiaroscuro effect, the work emphasizes the solitude and concentration of the subject. The man, dressed in a dark brown suit, sits on a wooden chair, his posture slightly leaned forward as his hands delicately hold the instrument.
The subtle lighting accentuates the volume of his form and the reflective quality of the flute, suggesting a quiet interior setting. There is a romantic, almost nostalgic atmosphere, evoking late 19th to early 20th century sensibilities. Charming..
