Italian School, 19th Century Two Seated Women in Traditional Dress The artwork is offered framed. Watercolour on paper, 12 × 17 cm. A finely executed 19th-century Italian watercolour depicting two seated women dressed in traditional regional costume. The figures are rendered with confident line work and subtle washes, suggesting an observational study rather than a fully staged composition. The open background and careful attention to clothing details are characteristic of period costume studies produced in Italy during the 19th century. In the lower left corner, the number “48” is inscribed, possibly an inventory or studio reference number. The sheet shows age-appropriate toning and minor spotting consistent with its age. Overall, a genuine and evocative example of 19th-century Italian works on paper.
