Pastel Of A Putto In A Late 18th-century Venetian Frame

Charming pastel on paper, oval-shaped, depicting the tender and expressive face of a child, likely a putto or angelic figure. The artwork probably dates back to the 19th century, and it may be a fragment from a larger drawing or an isolated study or sketch.
The pastel is mounted in a fine Venetian carved wooden frame, gilded in genuine gold leaf, dating to the late 18th century, with a pierced crest and oval format. Frame dimensions: 52 x 30 cm; image size: 30 x 24 cm.
Condition:– the frame is well preserved with minor wear, some re-gluing, and light applications of bronze powder in the restored areas;– the pastel, examined out of the frame, is structurally sound, with no major damage, and consistent with its age.
A delicate and evocative piece, perfect for both classic and modern interiors.Its subject and format suggest connections with academic or atelier work from the 19th century.
