Portraits Through the Ages

Charming portrait of Garibaldi, a revolutionary and founder of Italy, painted in an oval cartouche with his characteristic red fez on his head. The painting shows craquelure in the dark paint, which confirms the dating.
The frame is contemporary with a beard imprint of the ebony profile in the paint.
Probably painted as a portable 'ricordo' to the liberator of Italy.

Charmant portret van Garibaldi, revolutionair en grondlegger van Italie geschilderd in een ovaal cartouche met zijn karakteristieke rode kalotje op zijn hoofd. Het schilderij heeft krimpscheuren in de donkere verf hetgeen de datering bevestigt.
De lijst is contemporain met een baardafdruk van het ebben profiel in de verf.
Vermoedelijk geschilderd als een draagbare ‘ricordo’ aan de bevrijder van Italie.
