Great Italian painting signed and dated 1898. Oil work on canvas, in the first canvas, depicting portrait, Milanese noblewoman, of good pictorial hand. Picture of great extent and impact, on a clear background, with elegant lady sitting on Renaissance armchair. Painting adorned with a beautiful wooden frame, of the twentieth century, carved and golden. Opera signed Sorio L., dated 98 Milan (see photo) referable to the famous portrait and landscapeist Luigi Sorio (1835-1909), missing authentic. Painting that has undergone a conservative restoration intervention on the edges of the canvas, probably in conjunction with the replacement of the frame. It presents a small tear at the bottom of the center, on the dress of the lady, where a quick coverage of the defect was carried out (see photo), to be restored for better enjoyment. It presents a reference to the subject of the portrait on the original frame (see photo) during the study phase. Overall picture in good condition with some signs of time. Painted light h 113 x l 84 cm.
