Italian painter (XIX) - Lady and Musketeer

Italian painter (XIX) - Lady and Musketeer.

40.5 x 40.5 cm (unframed) - 42 x 42 cm (framed).

Oil on canvas, in a thin wooden frame.

The scene is framed within a round reserve on a dark background. A musketeer in 17th-century attire—a plumed hat, red jacket, high boots, and a sword at his side—shakes hands with a young lady in a red dress and blue skirt, seated before him with emotion. In the background, on the left, a table covered with a scarlet cloth holds books and objects; on the right, in the shadows, an elderly figure is busy cooking. The composition harks back to the Romantic historical genre painting that was popular in Italy in the second half of the 19th century.
