Genre scene at court with queen and painter, oil painting on canvas
Oil painting on canvas depicting a genre scene at court, 19th - 20th century. Unidentified signature present at lower right. The large canvas presents an interior scene, set in an 18th-century court: in the richly furnished room with velvet curtains, sculptures and large paintings on the walls, a queen (identified by her ermine-trimmed mantle), poses for the painter who is executing her portrait, surrounded by the court, smiling ladies and gentlemen, and a prelate, who seems rather disgruntled instead. The work looks at the production of painter Arturo Ricci (1854 - 1919), who specialized in genre scenes set in 18th-century courts. The painting is presented in a frame assembled with early 20th-century elements. Size without frame: 112 x 158 cm.
