AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This oil painting on panel depicts the bust of a smiling young man, characterized by a straw hat and a cigar between the fingers, rendered in a verismo style typical of popular genre painting. The work, framed in a heavy black wooden frame with a raised relief, likely dates from the late 19th century / early 20th century, reflecting a taste for humble and everyday subjects that was very widespread at the time.
Artwork size: 35x44 cm
Frame size: 53x63 cm
Good overall condition, slight signs of aging as in the photos. The analysis of the back shows a wooden panel inserted into an antique frame, with aging marks consistent with the indicated period.
Paintings bought from an Italian private collector.
Shipped without glass (if present) unless otherwise indicated at the time of purchase.
Please examine the photographs carefully as they are an integral part of this description. Tracked shipping including secure packing, any duties and customs taxes will be borne by the purchaser.
