Crayons on paper mounted on canvas. Portrait in walking dress, with her cloak draped over her shoulders, of Queen Marie Antoinette of Habsburg-Lorraine (1755-1793), the last queen of France before the French Revolution, known for her lavish lifestyle and tragic fate. The work is presented in an early 20th-century gilded frame, which shows several signs of damage and missing stucco (very brittle).

The Shepherdess

Oil on canvas. A beautiful figure of a young girl in traditional pastoral costume, elegant in her gold-fringed vest, her hat with a peacock feather, her earrings, her water bottle on her belt, and her hooked staff held firmly in her hands: it seems more like a portrait in folk costume than a real figure of the people. Pesenti became famous for his views of interiors, often of churches, but also for genre scenes with popular figures. The painting has been restored in the past. It is presented in a period frame.

Set of six Louis Philippe walnut chairs. Open back, curved legs, and upholstered seat. Italy, second quarter of the 19th century.

Stable interior

Oil painting on canvas. Signed lower left. The work was previously acquired at the Sotheby's auction in Milan on 10/12/2007. It was exhibited in 1991 in the exhibition "Giovanni Sottocornola. Images from a collection" held in Milan at the Silbernagl Gallery. After an initial pictorial phase dedicated to portraits and still lifes, in the 1880s Giovanni Sottocornola approached social themes, which were becoming the favorite subjects of young Lombard painters attentive to the poorest aspects of society, linked to the adoption of original artistic techniques. Sottocornola embraced the practice of pointillist painting, of which he wrote in 1895 "For now it is certain, I am convinced that there is no other painting more capable of conveying certain sensations than this one". However, this type of painting remained entirely focused on light, on its uncertain tonal vibrations, as happens in the Interior of a stable, created towards the end of the 1980s, where the plays of light and shadow play and create the effects visual in the brushstrokes of color played on a few chromatic ranges, those of browns, expressed in a wide variety of shades. The work is presented in a period frame.

Venetian blown glass chandelier, burnished. Six lights supported by drooping arms alternating with drooping leaves and flowers.
