AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid oil painting on panel attributed to the Italian master Torquato Bartolini, a painter active from the late 19th to the first half of the 20th century, particularly celebrated for his genre historical evocations and gallant scenes.
The work depicts a lively and aristocratic ballroom scene set in the eighteenth century, a theme dear to contemporary art collectors and to neoclassical eighteenth-century painting.
At the center of the composition stands out a woman elegantly dressed in a sumptuous light-colored pannier dress and a sumptuous feathered headdress, caught in mid-step of a dance with a cavalier standing with his back to the viewer.
The background reveals a sumptuous reception hall with warm tones and theatrical drapery, populated by other figures in period costumes finely hinted.
The brushwork is rich, tactile, and vibrant, capable of capturing the dynamism of movement, the luster of silken fabrics, and the festive atmosphere of eighteenth-century courts.
The actual dimensions of the painting on panel are 46 cm x 61 cm
