Description: About this work: A wonderful, large circa 1800 Italian School portrait of a musician. This portrait depicts a fashionable young gentleman in red and gold holding a piece of sheet music labelled “ANDANTE”. He stands in front of an organ - perhaps a nod to his instrument of choice. The sitter and artist are currently unknown, although there are some indiscernible pencil inscriptions on the stretcher that may provide some clues. The work is oil on canvas and is housed in an elaborate antique frame (which matches his flair). Size: 36.25 inches tall by 27.75 inches wide (painting) 48.5 inches tall by 40.75 inches wide by 5 inches deep (frame) Provenance: Private collection, MA Condition: Good overall antique condition. Relined. Scattered craquelure commensurate with age. Scattered spots of inpainting throughout. Antique frame with losses to decoration, particularly corners, and touch up to gilding throughout. It is ready to be displayed and enjoyed! This work will be carefully packed and shipped with insurance and signature confirmation. Free local pick up is also available.
