Description

A beautiful mid 19th Century portrait of a young boy, leaning on a stone plinth, inscribed with the word "Roma" (Rome). He is wearing the traditional dress of the 18th Century Italian shepherds, with a hat adorned with feathers and tassels and a fur waistcoat. The portrait is delicately rendered with the Romanticism, typical of Victorian portraiture of this style. The painting is unsigned and presented in a simple, white painted frame. On board.

Condition

The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration. There is some craquelure to the surface.
