Antique impressionist oil painting of a young man or boy wearing a cap with his head turned. This attractive portrait painting, with natural hues is quite dark lending a Chiaroscuro effect to the work.  Simple in it's construction and hailing from the Art Nouveau era, this painting is honest and forthright with the face of a young man or boy beautifully captured by the light coming in from the right.  The tonal effects on the face, helped by impasto enforced brushed oils are delightful and the antique gilt frame adds to the overall effect.
