Description : Ritratto di giovane pellegrino

Oil on canvas. The painting is a copy of a work by Alexis Grimou (1678 -1733), executed in 1725 and now in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. Grimou, also referred to as the French Rembrandt, had become a specialist in these costumed portraits, Spanish-style, but was rather repetitive in his choice of costumes for his portraits: this pilgrim, which exists in both male and female versions, was often used by him with small variations. The painting presented here also overlaps the dimensions of the original, which was evidently originally sold as a 'copy by. The young man, a teenager with his back turned to look back at the viewer, is presented dressed in a jacket with a gala collar and sleeves, with a pilgrim's flask tied to his hip and holding a pilgrim's staff with his right hand; the other hand hides his hat behind the back. The painting manages to reproduce rather well that range of colours from brown to warm red and saffron yellow that looked to Rembrandt, It is presented in a coeval frame.
