Mid-Century oil on canvas portrait of a man in spectacles

This is an original oil painting on canvas, likely dating from the late 1960s to the 1970s. The artwork features a realistic torso-up portrait of a middle-aged male subject with dark hair, sideburns, and heavy-rimmed spectacles. He is depicted wearing a wide-collared plaid shirt beneath a brown jacket, a style highly characteristic of the mid-20th century. The background is rendered in a mottled, Impressionistic style with greens and browns, providing a neutral depth that highlights the subject. The brushwork appears deliberate with blended transitions on the facial features. The piece is housed in a contemporary 'wavy' or 'hand-carved' style wood frame with a dark mahogany-toned finish, separated from the canvas by a light tan linen liner. There is an indiscernible signature in the lower right corner. The condition appears fair to good; the canvas shows some minor age-related darkening, though no significant paint loss or cracking is visible from the primary view. The frame exhibits minor surface dust and possible slight scuffing consistent with age. This piece serves as a classic example of mid-century amateur or regional portraiture, showcasing personal identity through the fashion and accessories of the era.
