AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An artwork of extraordinary pictorial quality and great historical and collecting interest. The painting depicts a rich and elegant botanical composition inspired by the nineteenth century, characterized by meticulous rendering of the petals and by a harmonious color variety that ranges from delicate pink, yellow, and white tones to the intense hues of tiger lilies and the surrounding vegetation. The composition rests on a surface covered by an elegant patterned fabric and features in the background stalks of wheat that elongate the vertical structure.
Historical Interest and Provenance.
In the lower part of the frame there is an original period dedicatory plaque addressed to “AL CAV. INNOCENZO VIGLIARDI.” Innocenzo Vigliardi was a leading figure in Italian publishing and culture in the nineteenth century (associated with the famous Vigliardi Paravia publishing house in Turin). This detail significantly enhances the documentary value and provenance of the lot. The painting is dated bottom right 1866 and signed with the author’s initials. The back shows the original period wooden closures secured with antique nails.
