An original French portrait, skilfully drawn in charcoal and chalk and dated 1960. Depicting a gentleman in profile wearing a red cap, the simple lines and muted colours give the piece a quiet character that sits comfortably in both traditional and contemporary interiors. Presented in its original black frame with worn gilt detailing, it's a lovely size for displaying on a shelf, hanging in a hallway, home office or downstairs cloakroom, where it adds personality without dominating the space.

More About This Piece

We always enjoy finding original artwork that tells a story without saying too much. Rather than a mass-produced print, this is a genuine hand-drawn portrait, with subtle pencil lines, charcoal shading and chalk highlights that make every mark unique.

The original frame complements the artwork beautifully, with its gently worn gilt detail adding warmth and depth.

Why We Love It

Portraits have a way of adding personality to a room, and this one is no exception. We love the expressive profile, the understated colour palette and the beautifully aged frame. It's the sort of piece that looks just as good leaning on a shelf as it does hanging on a wall.
