An Antique 19th-century Portrait Of A Woman By Pio Sanquirico

A vivid oil-on-canvas painting depicting a refined female portrait in profile, an authentic work by the renowned Italian painter Pio Sanquirico, a leading figure in figurative and genre painting of the late 19th century.
The work stands out for its extraordinary psychological depth and masterful use of chiaroscuro. The young woman’s face, with its gentle and aristocratic features, emerges with a delicate luminosity from a dark and profound background.
The painting is signed by the artist in the lower right corner and is embellished with a charming contemporary dedication written in red directly on the canvas.
The work is in good overall condition, with a period patina.
The painting is enhanced by its original period frame, made of richly carved and gilded wood.
Condition as shown in the photos.
