Portrait Of The Princess Of Ruspoli, Early 18th Century, Italian School

Portrait of the Princess of Ruspoli, early 18th century, Italian school. This oil on canvas, begun in the 18th century, depicts the Princess of Ruspoli, a member of one of the most influential Italian noble families of the time. The female figure, shown in bust form, is dressed in a crimson gown trimmed with white lace, in the Baroque style of the court. The face, imbued with sobriety and serenity, emphasizes the contrast between the dark palette of the background and the luminosity of the dress. The canvas exhibits uniform craquelure and some old retouching, characteristic of its age, which do not detract from its quality. The frame, in carved and gilded wood, decorated with vegetal motifs and a central wreath, is a high-quality piece that significantly enhances the value of the work. Canvas: 62 cm x 71.5 cm. With frame: 132 cm x 88 cm. Good condition.
