A date for this gentlemen's portrait

[Canuc]

This is a copy of a copy of the original artwork, we don't know who might have the original.

Is there enough clothing to suggest a date when his portrait was created?
And then theirs his hair style and lack of whiskers to consider.

Thoughts on his age would be welcome too.

Look forward to hearing from you
Thank you

1840's-50's but more likely 50's.

Thank you, I suspected that time period, but a second opinion is most welcome.

Cleaned it a little but nothing altered, the colours are original. He looks fairly young; mid thirties maybe? regards, John.

Thank you for the colourisation the person I'm asking for will be pleased I think

Thank you for your reply, but, as I said in my post "original colours"; no colour was added, John.

Hoobaloo,
I'm not sure I understand what you're telling me.

With my colour vision deficiency I was not seeing anything more than a line drawing with a colour wash of indeterminate hue. What you achieved is colourization for me, and I liked it.

The original drawing is very beautiful, and most skilfully done. A fine portrait. It is a shame you don’t have the original to see the artist’s name, as that might help you with the dating.
The sitter is young, possibly 20s-30s – not easy to be more exact than that.

The strange version posted in reply #3, with intensified colours and blurred detail, in my opinion, is certainly not an enhancement of the original.
