About the Item

This fine Italian portrait by the accomplished painter Ferdinando Cavalleri (1794-1865) depicts a lady in Rome, Italy, in the early 19th century. She wears a dark cloak against a warm, earthy background. The artist puts an emphasis on the rich textures in the composition, drawing the viewers ever closer to the paisley shawl captured in jewel tones and the feathered edges of the ornate lace bonnet. The sitter's gentle expression and the soft lighting contribute to the painting's intimate atmosphere. Signed and dated '1828' to the lower right. Inscribed 'Roma' below the signature. Presented in a period gilt frame. On canvas on stretchers.
