Early 20th Century Genre Scene Painting

Refined oil painting on canvas, framed in carved and gilded wood. The painting depicts a festive scene inside a tavern, featuring two figures, including a man in profile on the left, dressed in typical 17th-century attire, with a choker, hat, and a sword in his right hand. The man is seated and holds a chalice in his left hand, resting on a plate where food is visible. On the right is a young woman in gypsy dress and splendid earrings, likely a shopkeeper, holding a jug of wine. This is a lively and animated scene, whose pictorial mastery is evident, adding a touch of class and refinement to any setting. The artist Mattia Greco's signature is also present at the bottom right. Italian craftsmanship, early 20th century.
