Male portrait 

This oil painting by Noè Bordignon, a 19th-century Italian artist, depicts a male portrait in a realistic style. The subject appears to be a man of middle age with a neatly trimmed beard. The loose brushstrokes and muted color palette suggest a sense of realism, focusing on the sitter's features and character. The painting's intimate size, 19 x 14.5 cm, emphasizes a close-up view of the individual, inviting the viewer to engage with the subject's gaze. While the specific identity of the sitter is unknown, the portrait exemplifies Bordignon's talent for capturing nuanced expressions and conveying a sense of individual character in his subjects.
