"The Beautiful Italian"
Charming sketch representing a young Italian leaning against a door frame, in her shimmering outfit, wearing a big smile. This late 19th century oil on canvas is signed, but only the first name remains, and a particle, a piece having replaced a missing part in this place. A dedication in the upper right corner is difficult to read. Very representative of the taste for Italy, throughout the 19th century, this painting, treated with liveliness, very colorful, is full of beautiful energy. It has just been cleaned and is now in perfect condition.
