AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Italian school (XIX) - The Bride's Preparation.
78 x 64 cm (without frame) - 94 x 80 cm (with frame).
Oil on canvas, in a carved and gilded wooden frame.
The scene depicts the preparation of a young bride in traditional costume from central Italy. The protagonist, dressed in an embroidered white dress, red bodice and gold bracelets, is assisted by an older woman arranging her lace bridal veil. Around her the domestic scene comes to life: a young girl seated on the ground holds an embroidery hoop, a boy peers curiously from the doorway and a woman in the background is busy spinning. The painting belongs to the nineteenth-century tradition of costume painting, with particular care in rendering the details of traditional bridal dress.
Condition report: Original canvas. Good state of conservation of the pictorial surface.
• This item is sold with a certificate of authenticity with legal validity.
• Further details on the condition report are available upon request.
• All shipments are handled with professional packaging. The frame, if present, is to be understood as a gift and therefore its structural integrity during transport is not guaranteed.
Note for non-Italian buyers: This work has not yet obtained the certificate of free export from Italy, issued by the Soprintendenza dei Beni Culturali, which certifies that the work does not belong to the Italian cultural heritage and may therefore be freely exported.

All costs related to this procedure are included in the price.
