Antique Italian School Nude Oil Painting on canvas mounted on plaster in fine period carved and giltwood frame. “Frame is original and is in good condition but needs minor restoration.” A Quality Seductive oil on canvas nude study of a young girl posing. Very much a figurative abstract piece of art.
This type of small scale portrait is known as a conversation piece and was the first real break with the stereotyped portraiture of the early 18th century. It was essentially a private rather than a public art form.
The exact date of this picture is uncertain, but in our opinion it is dated around 1700 or slightly later.
The girl in this painting looks a little shy in her appearance with the background colors reflecting a reddish brown tinge of moonlight glow and haze in the shadowing. The painting is nicely presented in the original period giltwood and gesso decorative frame.
Measurements Including Frame are overall:
Height: 18 Inches
Width: 14 Inches
Painting alone measures:
Height: 15 inches
Width: 11 inches
This is a fabulous example in oils and is of a professional standard and distinct style.

Francesco Guardi was, after Canaletto, the main painter of views of Venice in the 18th century.
His early figurative paintings were carried out in association with his brother, Gian Antonio, but in about 1760 Guardi turned to view painting.
Following Canaletto he recorded both the architecture of the city and the celebrations of its inhabitants in interior and exterior scenes.
These works brought him great success.
