Description

A fine 17th century oil in the style of Abraham Bloemaert (1564-1651) depicting the ancient story of Caritas Romana (Roman Charity). It is a story of filial piety in which a devoted daughter, Pero, secretly breastfeeds her elderly, imprisoned father, Cimon, to save him from dying of starvation. Unsigned. Well presented in a smart black frame with a gilt inner. On panel.

Condition

Signs of wear consistent with age. Some discolouration to the surface. Abrasions throughout. There is a split to the right of the panel, which has been restored. Other restorations include areas of overpainting. Overall the artwork remains in very good condition for its age. Some wear to the frame, including scuffs, chips and indentations. The frame has been previously restored, including a repair to the lower-right section and a replacement to the lower gilt rail.
