Antique 1915 signed oil painting on canvas portrait of an elderly man, fram

Interesting early 20th-century oil on canvas portrait depicting an elderly gentleman wearing a flat cap, moustache, and dark jacket. The painting is executed with expressive, confident brushwork, particularly in the face, giving the portrait a strong sense of character and personality. The painting is signed and dated 1915. The signature is difficult to decipher but appears to read "Queyron", although this cannot be guaranteed. The artwork is offered in its original period frame. Condition: The painting requires restoration. It displays extensive age-related craquelure throughout, the canvas has become slack, and there are several tears. Previous restoration work is visible on the reverse. Despite these condition issues, it remains an attractive and characterful antique painting with excellent decorative appeal and would make an interesting project for a collector, restorer, or lover of early 20th-century art. Dimensions: With frame: 60 × 48 × 5.5 cm (23.6 × 18.9 × 2.2 in) Canvas: 50 × 38.5 cm (19.7 × 15.2 in) The painting is sold exactly as shown in the photographs.
