Three-quarter Length Portrait of a Young Man with Curly Hair, 1700 - 1799
About the object
This small portrait was probably originally intended for a medallion. The present frame appears to be a later addition. The oil paint has been applied to the copper plate in fine and confident brushstrokes. The face and necktie of the unidentified young man are animated and compelling in the use of the materials.
