Old painting, portrait of a scholar with a nineteenth century hat

Very beautiful painting, mixed technique, pastel on canvas representing the portrait of an old man strangely resembling leonardo da vinci. He wears dark clothes with a green shirt, and an upturned rim hat. The skin of the man is dug by the weight of age, eyes are dark, his beard and hair are gray. The character is placed against a dark brown monochrome background. All the magic of this painting lies in the finesse of execution, the piercing look of this old man who manages to release softness and the play of light that the painter has managed to bring out by illuminating the face. In my opinion, it will require a protective glass in the long term to protect the pastel, which can be installed at the same time as the frame if necessary. The presentation photo best reflects the painting because the following zoom to show the details lighten this one a little. Size h 64.5 cm l 54 cm. Very original it will give character to your interior.
