Lot 29:
Continental School Watercolor of Two Theatrical Figures in a Rococo Revival Frame
Description
A framed watercolor or gouache painting depicting two figures in historical or theatrical costume against a dark, indistinct background. The figures appear to be a woman in an elegant dress and a man in a jester-like or Commedia dell’arte costume, holding a slender musical instrument or baton. The artwork is housed within an ornate, possibly gilded wood or gesso frame in a Baroque or Rococo Revival style, characterized by elaborate scrolling acanthus leaves, shell motifs, and a central cartouche-like finial at the top and bottom. The frame encloses a wide, golden-toned mat. No discernible text, signature, or specific markings are visible. The piece is consistent with a 19th or early 20th-century period.
