French painter (19th century) - Portrait of Alexandre Dumas (Villers-Cotterêts 1802 - Neuville-lès-Dieppe 1870). 24.5 x 19 cm. Oil on panel, unframed. The small portrait depicts Alexandre Dumas père, one of the most celebrated novelists and playwrights of 19th-century French literature, author of The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo. The subject is depicted bust-length, in three-quarter view, wearing a dark suit, white shirt, and tie, against a neutral brown background. The loose and direct brushwork, with quick touches rendering the curly hair and facial features, suggests a live portrait session or a well-known iconographic model. The small panel belongs to the type of studio bust portrait, popular in French painting in the second half of the 19th century. Condition report: Good condition of the painted surface.
