Dipinto in prima tela.
L'esame alla lampada di Wood evidenzia una forte vernice fluorescente sparsa disomogeneamente sulla superficie. Si evidenzia l'integrazione dei 4 angoli per rendere l'opera rettangolare anzichè ovale. Vi sono integrazioni pittoriche all'attaccatura dei capelli sulla fronte, nella parte destra del viso e alcuni ritocchi sulla parte sinistra del viso ove le craquelure sono state consolidate.
L'opera si presenta in condizioni abbastanza buone.
Painting on original canvas.
The ultra violet light reveals thick fluorescent varnish dishomogeneously spread over the surface, integrations over the 4 corners to give a rectangular shape instead of oval to the work. Some retouches are visible near the forehead, over the right and left hand side of the face where craquelure were consolidated.
The overall condition as to the state of preservation is good.

Catalogue Note
Il dipinto è una versione più tarda del Ritratto del Signor Adorno del 1876-77. Nell'opera qui presentata Favretto sceglie un'inquadratura più ravvicinata, concentrandosi maggiormente sull'analisi psicologica e sullo studio dell'espressione del giovane intellettuale, caratteristica comune ai ritratti di questi anni.
