18th-century antique painting on wood with a carved wooden frame

For sale: an impressive 18th-century painting on a wooden panel, depicting a scene inspired by antiquity. The composition features several figures dressed in classical style—a musician with his instrument, a young couple—as well as ancient architectural elements, columns, and a sculpture.

The work stands out for its composition in the classical academic tradition, the idealization of the figures, and the numerous motifs inspired by ancient culture.

The painting is set in an authentic 18th-century wooden frame, hand-carved, richly decorated, and gilded. The frame is decorated with classical plant motifs, acanthus leaves, pearls, and fluted moldings. Highly decorative and imposing, the frame is in its own right a remarkable piece of antique art.

Dimensions with frame: 126 cm x 99 cm
