Portrait of a young soldier, European School, 19th Century

Descriptio Oil on canvas. Bust portrait of a young officer in full military dress uniform decorated with gold embroidery and metal epaulettes, executed with remarkable academic precision. The subject gazes at the viewer with a serene and dignified expression, while the frontal lighting softly models the features and highlights the ornamental details of the uniform. The composition presents a sober and elegant balance typical of 19th-century institutional and bourgeois portraits, which sought to convey prestige, authority, and social advancement. The meticulous execution and careful rendering of textures reveal a clear influence of the European academic portrait tradition, where technical refinement and restrained idealization were essential for the official representation of the individual. Dimensions: 47 x 37 cm; 59 x 48 cm. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions.
