Embroideries on canvas, cut out and applied on a wooden panel. Probably belonging to a larger composition, then reworked to create decorative series, the chalice-shaped corolla of a flower with a long stem, filled with fruit and other flowers, with variegated colors. It is presented in a stylish frame.

Oil on cardboard. The painting proposes a rugged mountain landscape, in central-southern Italy, with ancient ruins and small human figures. The typology of landscape refers to the nineteenth-century production of "Grand Tour", which offered landscape or urban views as "souvenir postcards" for European travelers to discover the artistic beauties of Italy (and beyond). On the frame there is an unconfirmed attribution label to Alessandro Castelli, a nineteenth-century Roman painter and engraver. The painting is presented in a frame from the early 1900s.

The Artist and the Young Woman

Oil painting on canvas. French school of the 19th century. Tasty genre scene set in the studio of a young and blond painter, distracted from his work by the girl who, with her basket of vegetables on her arm, places a sweet kiss on his forehead, probably to reward the pictorial work she is pointing to with the finger outstretched. Lively in the colors, as well as in the attitudes of the characters, rich in furnishing elements and details, the work appears successful and has a pleasant effect. It is presented in a coeval frame.

Oil painting on canvas. Unidentified signature lower right (Solini?). The man is portrayed with a headdress and home clothes, while holding in his hands an object that could be a snuffbox, to underline the dimension of domestic rest. The painting is presented in a frame from the early 1900s.

Oil painting on canvas. At the bottom right are the initials SM and the date '51. Perhaps of the French school, the painting is probably part of a series of portraits of popular figures placed in sparse and deserted landscapes, with chromatic connotations of a romantic taste. In this one, a beggar wrapped in a tattered blanket stretches out his hand on the path. Presented in a stylish frame. Small drops of color at the top.

In this, a wayfarer, an elderly woman of the common people leaning on a stick, is counting the coins she has received in her hand... or perhaps those she wants to donate? Presented in a period frame, the painting has some small drops of color and a small hole in the centre.
