Austrian school (XIX) - Ritratti, bambini in costume d’epoca

Pair of portraits, 'Children in Period Costume', 19th century.
.
Elegant pair of oil on canvas paintings depicting two children in period costumes: one dressed as an officer with a horse, the other with a cloak and a musketeer's rapier. The works are distinguished by their vivid color rendering, refined details of the clothing, and the painted oval setting reminiscent of the early nineteenth century style. These idealized portraits of children in historical costume were intended for bourgeois decor.
The paintings are presented in contemporary carved and gilded wooden frames, of excellent craftsmanship, with a pleasant patina and signs of age. The canvases show crackling consistent with their age but are well preserved, with no evident restorations.
