Scuola Fiamminga del XVII Secolo - Ritratto di uomo con cappello

\Artist: Scuola Fiamminga del XVII Secolo
Technique: Oil on canvas\Signature: Not signed\Dimensions: 55_41. 5_5_cm
Antique oil on canvas, 17th century, portrait of a man with hat. This evocative canvas is attributed to a Flemish artist of the Antwerp school. The iconographic style and the pictorial manner seem to validate the attributive reference to the circle of Frans Hals on the back of the stretcher. Directing therefore to recognize Hals himself as the inspirer of our author. With a beautiful oak frame, datable around the first half of the 20th century, which has slight flaws and shortcomings. In overall good condition, considering its age. There are some scattered restorations and some slight peeling of the surface, but nothing truly relevant. There are no conservation issues and the original canvas is supported by an old re-lining that does not seem to require restoration. Fine craquelure consistent with the painting’s age. It looks like the stretcher was replaced, probably when the artwork was relined. Canvas size: 41. 5 x 27. 5 cm. Frame size: 55 x 41. 5 cm. With photographic certificate of authenticity, in accordance with the current law. Shipping via insured express courier, packaged with the utmost care.
