Portrait of an Old Man Wearing a Fur Hat, 1700 - 1799
About the object
His bushy brows and fulsome beard, as well as his fur hat, convey a wild and untamed impression of the sitter's disposition. This portrait miniature does not bear any discernible features as such, but is nonetheless an animated depiction in oils on canvas of a striking, characterful head.
