Description
In Greek mythology, Cassandra was a Trojan princess who, after rejecting the romantic advances of Apollo, was given the ability to see the future, but cursed to never be believed. She is depicted here gazing upwards with an expression of dismay, able to foresee tragedy (such as the fall of Troy) but powerless to stop it. Well presented in an ornate gilt frame with foliate mouldings and an oak running pattern. Unsigned. On canvas laid to board.Condition
Overall, the condition is good for a picture of this age. Some signs of wear consistent with age, including craquelure and discolouration. Areas of overpainting. Loss to the lower left corner of the frame.
