18th Century - Saint Anthony - Miniature Under Glass With A Gold Background
A miniature under glass depicting St. Anthony holding the Child, painted in oil on a gold-ground panel.
The small glass panel is domed, giving the image a sense of depth and vitality.
The tenderness of the depiction is remarkable, with the tones of the background and the subtle touches of red, white, and green in the flowers creating a contrast in a composition that is both simple and exquisite.
The gold-leaf background at the base highlights the work’s precious simplicity and quality.
Excellent condition: the painted surface is protected by a protective sheet to prevent the delicate paint from being scratched.
Minor scratches on the edge.
