Description from the seller
Artist: Anonymous painter belonging to the Spanish School of the late 19th century
Details of the work: Oil on canvas from the period representing a genre scene typical of Spanish painting.
The composition shows a meeting between women dressed in traditional attire (highlighting the black mantilla and the blue scarf) standing at the threshold of an establishment that, from the partially visible sign ("ROPAVE..."), suggests a clothing shop or local trade.
Dimensions:
WITH FRAME: 48 x 40
CANVAS: 36 x 27.5
Details about the signature: The work is unsigned, after a visual inspection of the front pictorial layer.
Provenance: Private collection.
The back of the work preserves its original period wooden stretcher, naturally darkened by oxidation and the passage of time, on which an old inventory or catalog number ("6") is affixed at the top.
The work is in acceptable condition for its age.
Inspection reveals an old patina and light natural craquelure on the painted surface.
About the frame: A classic gilded wooden frame is included.
It presents evident flaking, loss of gilding, and wear at the corners, typical of its history.
Disclaimer: The frame is offered as an addition to the artwork and damages to it will not be a basis for a claim.
Shipping: The work will be properly shipped framed, insured, and protected with professional packaging to ensure its integrity during transport.
