"Oil Painting On Silk"
Large painting made on silk, mounted in a non-coeval golden frame. The subject depicts a sumptuous central floral composition resting on a pedestal, framed by elegant golden scrolls and two classical male figures in Renaissance clothing. The decorative apparatus is rich, with floral and architectural motifs that recall the French ornamental taste of the Restoration and the Louis Philippe period.
Vibrant colours, in particular cobalt blues, burnt greens and warm golds, create a dramatic effect of great impact.
France, 19th century.
