"Italian School Of 18th Century By Pannini, Architectural Capriccio, Landscape, Antique, Wash Drawing, Oval View"
A very fine 18th-century Italian school drawing in ink wash, incorporating all the elements favored by Giovanni Paolo Pannini (1691 or 1692-1765), depicting an architectural capriccio with its antique statue, temples, coffered vaults, ruins, and remains covered in lush vegetation, as was popular at the time. The originality of this drawing lies in the oval shape of the mat and the antique frame with its wide black border, which enhances the composition and the final, decorative, and spectacular effect. Dimensions with frame: 45 x 37.5 cm
