Title: Pair of Mid 20th c. Italian Portraits in Swept Gilt Frames Description: Pair of Mid 20th c. Italian Portraits in Swept Gilt Frames A good-looking pair of mid-20th century Italian portraits depicting a husband and wife, painted in oil on canvas and board, each signed and dated 1957 and 1964. The sitters are presented in a relaxed, natural manner, with soft colour and confident, unfussy brushwork typical of the period. Lightly suggested coastal and architectural backgrounds give a gentle sense of place without overwhelming the compositions. Both paintings are set in matching gilt frames with pleasing scrolling detail and a warm, mellow tone. The frames have a particularly attractive, slightly time-softened finish and contribute greatly to the overall decorative appeal. Both frames measure 48 x 58 cm. Offered in good condition commensurate with age. Light marks and wear to frames in align with age Condition: Used Delivery option: Collection & Delivery Location: WR1 Category: Antiques
