Neo-Renaissance Mirror Walnut Italy XIX Century - Italy Late 19th century

Oil on the table. The picturesque landscape has a wide path in the foreground on the right which winds between fronds and green meadows, where flocks graze; a small family of peasants passes along the path, all engaged in the transport of goods: even the girl carries a large bundle on her head, while the mother carries the basket with her newborn son in the same way! In the background, the plain extends wide to fade towards the distant hills and into the clear and rarefied sky, which gives off an almost pink light. The fir table of the painting has undergone restoration and parqueting. The work is presented in a mid-1900s frame.

Pastels on cardboard. Central European school of the late 1800s. Trace of signature lower left. The beautiful and elegant young woman is depicted with a melancholy expression, a slight heavy smile, her eyes downcast and pensive: the attitude, associated with the black she wears, suggests a woman in mourning. The painting is presented in a mid-1900s frame.

Oil painting on canvas. The Holy Family is depicted with Mary and Joseph who, converging one hundredth with their heads close together, frame the Child Jesus, intent on playing with a lamb, the iconographic symbol of the sacrificial victim, therefore a prelude to the Passion, together with the small Cross that the child holds in one hand. The inscription anno 1845 appears at the top right, an indication of the period probably added during the subsequent restoration phase. In fact, the work has been restored and relined. It is presented in a stylish frame.

Oil on canvas. Lombard School. Portrait of a woman that highlights the lace of the dress and the crucifix around the neck. It is in good conditions and comes in a gilded coeval frame that shows small drops of color.

Paintings under glass, on a convex glass surface. The two oval paintings offer landscapes enlivened by figurines of people intent on various activities: in one the setting is in the mountains, with small chalets below by the stream and below rocky peaks; in the other instead at night, a placid river flows near wooded banks, illuminated by the full moon. The paintings are presented in contemporary gilded frames, to be restored due to deficiencies.

Pencil on paper. Good use of the hatching and chiaroscuro are shown in this portrait of a young woman. The portrait comes with a 19th century wooden frame that had beeen embellished with leafy and floral leather inserts; the frame has some color drops and some missing parts.

OIl on canvas. North Italy School. Small glimpse of a steam that flows between the houses; we can see two figures, one is a soldier that is passing under the bridge on his boat; the other man is crossing the bridge while pulling a dunkey that is pulling a cart. The painting needs to be restored because of several drops of color of which the biggest one is on the left side of the bridge. It comes in a gilded coeval frame.

Landscape with River and Figures

Watercolor on paper. Signed lower right. Giuseppe Gabani, who was a Cavalry officer and participated in many uprisings of the Risorgimento, stood out in particular for his equestrian subjects, battle scenes, orientalism, made with vivacity of color and pictorial emphasis. Here instead we have a delicate watercolor of his, which offers a landscape with a river flowing in the countryside and walking figurines: in Gabani's production there are actually many of these landscapes, calm in colors and rather pervaded by peace and tranquility. In coeval frame.
