Painting Double Female Portrait, 1891

Oil on canvas. At the bottom right are the unidentified signature (partially erased), the location Rome and the date 1841. The portrait of this pair of women, presumably mother and daughter, is singular: the older woman is dressed strictly in black, in mourning, and her gaze is lost in the distance, chasing memories of her life, detaching herself from the present; the young woman, on the other hand, at the centre of the scene, is elegant and lively, in a pink dress and a precious white and gold satin cloak, with a white fur collar, a bunch of flowers in her hand; although leaning on the shoulder of the older woman, whom she holds under her arm with a confidential but also protective attitude, she displays a confident and determined expression, staring straight ahead towards the viewer, or perhaps reaching out towards the future that awaits her. Restored and relined, the painting is presented in a period frame.

Antique Painting Winter Landscape Oil on Canvas '700-'800

Oil on canvas. The wide view frames a snowy mountain landscape, with a wide valley under sharp peaks, in which a small lake opens up; small figures of wayfarers walk along the path that starts from the village on the left. The whiteness of the snow creates a muffled and luminous atmosphere, in contrast with the dark cloudy sky. The painting is presented in a golden frame from the early 1900s.

Portrait of a Young Woman, 1842

Oil on canvas. Signature, date and location Milan on the lower left. The young woman portrayed is very elegant in her blue satin dress embellished with delicate lace, she sits on an elegant armchair; smiling, she looks at the viewer with intensity, showing off her beauty. There is an uncertain identification of the woman as Clementina Marchetti Grillo, a young noblewoman from Lecco, of whom there is another portrait by the same Luchini. The work is presented in a gilded frame from the second half of the 19th century, with missing parts (to be restored).

Antique Painting Signed Eliseo Sala Oil on Canvas Italy 1841

Female Portrait, 1841

Oil on canvas. Signed and dated lower left. Eliseo Sala is celebrated by contemporary critics as a prominent portraitist in the Lombardy panorama. In fact, he carried out many important commissions on behalf of royal, noble and upper-middle-class families, as well as prestigious political figures. In his maturity, his art was oriented almost exclusively towards veristic portraiture and historical Romanticism, rendered with immediate painting, of extreme chromatic refinement, rich in chiaroscuro and an in-depth psychological investigation, which often reproduces the ideals of the Risorgimento that were typical of his personal beliefs. Presented here is the artist's portrait of a lady of the wealthy bourgeoisie, which well expresses the intense capacity for realism and psychological introspection that emanates from the woman's gaze. The painting is presented in a 19th-century gold frame.
