Portrait of an officer from 1883

Portrait of an officer, oil on canvas of the nineteenth century, signed g. Butow and dated 1838. The man wears a mustache and beard, very fashionable in the second empire. The realization of the painting is very neat and the work very beautiful. Note a small lack of paint of 2 mm taken in photo in macro mode is present at the level of the left shoulder pad, absolutely not annoying. The canvas is in superb condition. The setting is very beautiful, in perfect condition with a very nice patina and old-fashioned gilding. Canvas dimensions: l 41 X h 52 cm. Dimensions with frame: l 52 X h 63.
