19th century, Lombard school Portrait of a Gentleman Oil on canvas, 92 x 71 cm - with frame 107 x 87 cm The elegant portrait in question depicts a carefully dressed gentleman, caught in his daily domestic life, sitting next to a table, with a pen in hand and lightly pressed on some sheets placed on a wooden desk. The determined gaze, directed at the observer and the refined pose, identify the portrait as "official", that is, commissioned for a private or public use, but through which the social relevance of the portrayed must have transpired. From this point of view, the work perfectly follows the conventions of nineteenth-century portraiture
