191 European School – Portrait of a Young Man with Plumed Hat – Hand-Colored Drawing (c.1750)

This finely executed hand-colored drawing from the European School portrays a young man in a distinctive plumed hat, characteristic of 18th-century European fashion. His gaze is turned slightly to the side, highlighting the elegant features and curled hairstyle typical of the period. The artist's use of muted tones and delicate brushwork brings depth and softness to the portrait, while the bold hat with feathered accents adds a touch of nobility and style. The signature at the bottom reads "Mlle Armini," suggesting an attribution or connection to the artist. This portrait exemplifies the Rococo influence in European portraiture, with its emphasis on grace, refinement, and attention to sartorial detail.
