"Louis-nicolas De Lespinasse (1734-1808), Brown Ink Wash, Italian Street Scene, Beautiful Frame"
Very beautiful animated scene of an Italian street in brown ink and brown wash from the end of the 18th century attributed to Louis-Nicolas de LESPINASSE (1734-1808) or to Claude THIENON (1772-1846), the student of MOREAU and MONTERARE. In its current state, the attribution to LESPINASSE, this knight of the royal and military order of Saint-Louis and academician. seems more likely in the absence of a signature. Beautiful work of perspectives and light, all in nuances and gradients, magnificently framed with a green mat beveled with gold and a beautiful more recent cade. The whole is very decorative!
