Antique 1922′ Oil Portait of Belgian WWI Soldier

Antique 1922′ oil portait of a Belgian WWI soldier

The painting dates back to the early 1900s and shows a moustached soldier wearing his Belgian uniform with charateristic Adrian helmet featuring the lions head in front.
Just below collar of his jacket the painting was signed and dated by the artist saying “Ysero – 22”.
The man’s stately appearance and stern look combined with the dark and earthy tones give this painting it’s characteristic charm.

It would fit perfectly decorating your gentleman’s room, shop or barber shop!

After more than a century the painting got a lovely patina that shows signs of wear like the tiny cracks in the paint surface. Sadly over the years the canvas endured some tiny tears.
The wooden frame has been treated with a layer of antique wax.
