CHICY YOUTH, pastel, first half of the 19th century 19th century

A portrait depiction of a man in the en trois quarts position.

The young man is shown in an elegant tailcoat, from under which a simple, fitted vest emerges. The collar of the white shirt was tied with a black muslin scarf. And narrow glasses complement his broad beard.

Despite the formal approach, the artist managed to keep the young man's face friendly.
