Antonio De Santis’s oil painting *Ballerine a riposo*, dating from 1970–1980, is an original work from Italy and is sold with its frame.
Description from the seller
The work depicts a refined and elegant interior scene with three classical ballet dancers captured during a moment of rest and preparation near the barre. The subject draws inspiration from the celebrated world of ballet, with a masterful rendering of the tutus’ delicate fabrics, the details of the ballet shoes, and the soft play of light filtering through the windows in the background.
The visual impact is extraordinary thanks to the extra-large canvas alone (120 × 90 cm). The painting is enhanced and completed by a sumptuous, finely crafted period gilded frame, with a substantial width of 10 cm on each side, bringing the lot’s overall dimensions to an impressive 140 × 110 cm.
A highly sophisticated piece of art furniture with a strong visual presence, perfect for enhancing prestigious living rooms or professional offices.
