Beautiful antique Italian miniature botanical oil painting by way of France. The painting is in the original giltwood frame, complete with convex glass, showing no damage except a ding or two on the gilt. The florals appear to have some texture as if raised, and the piece is signed. There is old paper on the back, so I could not open the piece to examine it more closely. The original hanger is at the top of the back. Overall dimensions are 6.2" x 4.8" x .80". The oil painting is 4.5" x 3.25". The Painting is in excellent condition. I can't be sure, but this is circa the late1800s. It is a gorgeous miniature Italian oil painting.
These petite Italian oil paintings are highly sought after and becoming very difficult to find. Please email me with questions.
