A fine 18th-century Italian School portrait of a bearded gentleman, likely a scholar, adorned with a gold chain and amulet. He is bathed in warm, golden light and rendered with characteristic Italian chiaroscuro, emphasising strong contrasts between light and shadow to model his features with depth and presence. Unsigned. Well presented in a gilt frame. On canvas on stretchers.
