Italian school from the second half of the seventeenth century."Self-portrait of the painter."Oil on canvas. Relined.With a Hungarian gallery label on the back.With frame of the twentieth century.Measurements: 67.5 x 51.5 cm; 78 x 62.5 cm (frame).As it could be a self-portrait of the painter himself, we are faced with the monumental and solemn effigy of an elderly gentleman. It is a work determined by the use of precise and defined brushstrokes. The light, which falls on the flesh tones, highlights the gaze, of great psychological depth. A fundamental aspect of seventeenth-century portraiture was to convey the personality and mood of the sitter, a trait that was not expressed in previous periods, which focused exclusively on external appearance.
