A 17th century portrayal of the Madonna holding Christ. Flanked by angels and wearing a brown robe
with gilt trimmings, she rises above the clouds in a gold crown. This boldly colorful piece was done by a
country painter on a good-sized seamed canvas, 43" x 33", and has a later gilt frame. Relined. Probably
Italian. Some overpaint in typical areas of faces and hands. Detailed images available. $1900.

A young British 18th century gentleman in a powdered wig. He wears fine lace and a gilt
embroidered sleeve with possible initials and is surrounded by articles of red fabric with further
gilt embroidery and tassels above a gilt column with a marble cap. A gold-tipped cane is at
lower center. Restored and with a fine later frame. 51" x 40" overall. $3600.

A 16th century Italian lady, by stretcher notes, Beatrice Strozzi, is painted in period at a young age in a striking dress having gossamer-like lace and silk ribbons. Further red ribbons adorn her hair and coral highlights her necklace. An old label verso attributes the piece to Barocci, 1526-1612. A beautiful young lady of great life and charm. Available for your most critical inspection and priced at $2495. 37" x 32½".
