Landscape with River and Female Figure Oil on Canvas Italy XIX C

Gouache on paper. Neapolitan school of the nineteenth century. On the back at the bottom label with the title. The gouache is part of the typical Grand Tour production, which made the Gulf of Naples and the views of Vesuvius recurring and privileged subjects of nineteenth-century landscape painting. The pink shades of the sky that are reflected on the smoking volcano and the blues of the sky and the sea create a typically romantic atmosphere. The scene is animated by numerous figures of commoners and fishing boats. The work is presented in a late 19th century frame.

Genre scene

Tapestry with genre scene set in the countryside: a young man defends himself with a spear from the assault of a group of stray dogs. The tapestry fabric has several horizontal cuts, especially in the upper half.

Oil on canvas. Eastern European School. Signed Szego G. below. These are two works to be proposed aligned because they depict a boy and a girl lying on the same lawn in a mirrored position, as if facing each other, probably intent on a love game: they wear gypsy clothes and have musical instruments with them - she a tambourine and him a violin - which refer to two characters of Slavic ethnicity, from the gypsy world. The whole is lively and serene. The two works are presented in styled frames.

Oil painting on canvas. Wide country landscape, with leafy trees, a path leading to the river and the small village in the distance.
