Italian School (late 17th/early 18th Century), Povero, oil on canvas, 45cm x 35cm
More Information
The canvas is dirty and has crackelure with a couple of tiny paint flakes at the extreme edge. There are stretcher marks showing through to the front. On the back there is a wax Italian customs seal and there is an inscription much later than the picture on the stretcher which clearly says 'Povero' but we cannot make out the rest, which could be a suggestion of the artist. It would benefit from a good clean. Whilst the frame is presentable the picture could be much better framed.
