AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
German Realist school (XIX) - Two children training a dog.
56.5 x 46.5 cm (without frame) - 69 x 59 cm (with frame).
Oil on canvas, in a gilt wood frame.
Signed indistinctly lower right.
The scene depicts two children in a rustic interior: the younger one, wearing a paper dunce cap, holds a small trumpet and faces a white dog rearing up on its hind legs, while the older boy encourages it with a raised hand gesture, as if giving it a command. In the background, a toy rocking horse on wheels, a half-open door with a cat lurking nearby, and various domestic details set the scene in a humble interior. The composition, the handling of the figures, and the overall pictorial quality are consistent with the central European genre painting tradition of the second half of the 19th century, with stylistic affinities to the German and Austro-Hungarian schools.
Condition report: Original canvas. Good condition of the pictorial surface, with signs of ageing and wear.
This item is sold with a certificate of authenticity with legal validity.
- Further informations 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 Superintendence of Cultural Heritage, which certifies that the work does not belong to the Italian cultural heritage and may therefore be freely exported. The regulations in force from 2026 provide for reduced processing times for works with a declared value below €50,000, at the discretion of the expert committee: typically 2-3 weeks from the submission of the request. All costs related to this procedure are included in the price.
