Venetian Painter (second Half Of The 18th Century) - Interior With A Money Counting Scene.

Venetian painter (second half of the 18th century) - Interior with a money counting scene.

58 x 72 cm (without frame) - 72.5 x 86.5 cm (with frame).

Oil on canvas, in a gilded wooden frame.

The painting depicts an elderly gentleman seated at a table with curved legs, intent on counting the coins taken from a small bag. Two young men witness the scene: on the left, one in a red coat and light blue waistcoat holds small money bags beside an open chest, while on the right the other, dressed in a pink coat and ochre waistcoat, accompanies the action with a gesture of his hand. The setting is defined by a curtain, a window on the back wall and an opening onto a balcony with a balustrade overlooking the sky. In the right foreground, a dog completes the composition.

The work belongs to the Venetian genre painting tradition which, following Pietro Longhi, recorded eighteenth-century daily life with a narrative tone. Noteworthy are the lively palette, based on the reds, blues and ochres of the garments, and the descriptive attention paid to costumes and furnishings.
