Description
An attractive and characterful Early 19th Century Continental School oil painting depicting St. Peter (S. Petri) in profile. The saint is portrayed with a contemplative expression, his white beard and balding head illuminated against a dramatic dark background. Executed with confident brushwork and warm tonal modelling, this intimate devotional portrait has an old master quality.
The work is signed lower left (‘S. Petri’) and is housed in an elegant gilt frame which complements the painting beautifully. A wonderful piece for collectors of religious art, Continental paintings, or traditional interiors.
