Beautiful antique portrait painting on canvas - unsigned . I think possibly American folk style ? But I am not an expert so please look carefully at photos.

This really is a characterful portrait – the face is beautifully done with a strong, direct gaze, while the rest is a bit more naïve.

He’s dressed in a dark suit with a watch chain, seated beside a red drape – a classic look of the period.

The painting is unsigned, which is quite normal for works like this.

• Some uneven finish with a mix of matte and slightly shinier areas

• A bit of paint loss around the outer edges where it’s been in a frame before

Unframed - canvas just nailed onto wooden frame on all four sides
