A 19th-century portrait of a distinguished man wearing a richly coloured turban adorned with striking blue and white feathers. He is depicted with a long, flowing blond beard and a composed, direct expression. The painting has a charmingly naïve quality in its handling, with simplified forms and somewhat unsophisticated brushwork, yet retains a convincing sense of realism in the sitter’s features and character. The restrained palette and straightforward composition give the portrait an appealing sense of individuality and period character. Well presented in a contemporary gilt frame. Unsigned. On canvas on stretchers.
