Description from the seller
EXCEPTIONALLY WITHOUT RESERVE!
Interesting oil painting on canvas from the 20th century depicting a genre scene with a popular, traditional flair, set in a domestic interior with a strong traditional feel.
The work portrays two female figures caught in a moment of dialogue and everyday complicity: an elderly woman in folk dress gently approaches a seated young woman, creating an intense composition rich in humanity.
The scene is characterized by a pleasant narrative setup and by a refined expressive exploration in the faces, capable of conveying naturalness and emotional involvement.
The contrast between the dark background and the warm tones of the clothing is very interesting, giving depth and highlighting the figures with great painterly elegance.
The work recalls the European tradition of genre painting from the 19th to the 20th century, particularly appreciated for its decorative and collectible value.
Painting signed “A. Ricci” lower left.
The soft brushwork and the delicate color rendering make this composition extremely agreeable and suitable for both classical interiors and collections devoted to traditional figurative painting.
The painting is adorned with an elegant gilded wooden frame, perfectly coherent with the character of the work.
Please note that, given the age of the painting, there may be slight signs of wear or small imperfections compatible with normal conservation of the work.
The frame is offered as a courtesy and will not be considered an integral part of the lot in case of possible damage during transport.
The photographs were taken under direct spotlight to best highlight details, colors, and painterly textures of the work.
Our shipments are fast, professional, and with carefully protected packaging: hence the related shipping costs.
According to current regulations on works of art, no lot will be shipped outside Europe (Schengen area), except private arrangements at the buyer’s total expense; any extra-EU shipments may be more costly and subject to possible difficulties.
