Portrait of a Gentleman Oil on canvas, 90 x 47 cm, by Vittorio Matteo Corcos, 1890 Location unknown |
||||||||||
|
Dedicated to Formilli
(possibly the Italian artist Cesare Formilli), this portrait depicts
a gentleman, possibly Formilli himself, standing in a well appointed
interior, dressed in a sober grey three-piece suit and carrying
gentle composure. Paintings, flowers and books around him place him
within an educated and cultivated setting, shaping an impression of
social confidence and accomplishment. |
