Oil Portrait of a Young Nobleman in Late 17th-Century Style

This item is a large oil on canvas portrait depicting a youthful figure, likely a young nobleman, executed in the Grand Manner style. The figure is shown from the chest up, positioned slightly angled with a direct gaze toward the viewer. He wears a dark doublet with an intricate white lace falling band collar and a crimson mantel draped over his shoulder. His head is adorned with a soft hat featuring a prominent, wispy white ostrich plume. The style of dress and composition suggest an inspiration from 17th-century European portraiture, specifically following the tradition of Anthony van Dyck or Sir Peter Lely. The canvas is housed in a substantial, ornate gilded wood and gesso frame. The frame features decorative corner and center cartouches with floral and acanthus leaf scrollwork, finished with a linen-covered inner liner. Regarding condition, the painting exhibits significant age-related wear including noticeable craquelure across the entire surface and some visible surface dirt or yellowing of the varnish. The canvas appears somewhat slack within the frame, showing faint stretcher bar marks. The frame itself shows minor losses to the gilded finish and small chips in the plaster moldings, typical of a mid-to-late 19th-century or early 20th-century revival piece. No artist signature is clearly visible in the provided image.
