A striking oil portrait depicting an elderly bearded man seated in three-quarter view, wearing a red fez and round wire-rimmed spectacles, draped in a white robe. His hands are folded quietly in front of him, and the muted ochre and deep green background suggests an interior setting, with a small earthenware jug visible at lower left. An early 20th-century Orientalist-style character study, portraying a Jewish elder or scholar. Presented in a gilt-effect frame. Illegibly signed upper right. On canvas.
Condition
Signs of wear consistent with age. Minor surface marks and abrasions present. Small, localised losses to the paint layer (lower right-hand quadrant). Three small tears to the canvas have been previously restored. Inspection under UV light reveals areas of minor overpainting. The frame shows signs of light wear. The artwork is in very good condition for its age.
