About the Item

This fine 19th century oil depicts a man reading with his hands clasped together as if in prayer. The blue robes suggest a connection to the church choir. The man is captured in excellent detail, particularly in his delicate facial features. Signed and dated to the right hand side of the painting. Beautifully presented in an ornate gilt frame with fluted edges, beaded straps, lambs tongue detail and acanthus leaves. On canvas on stretchers.
