Sybille with turban and fruit bowl, Oil on canvas, 19th century
sia antion, riga, latvia
This sensual painting depicts a silk-turbaned Sybille carrying a bowl of fruit (peaches and grapes) and richly dressed in a light white linen chemise, a luxurious fuchsia-pink tunic and a royal-blue cape. She is adorned with gold jewels and precious stones.In a way, its fair to say that this richness contrasts with her ingenuous, gentle gaze: her radiant youth is as unsettling as her frontal, piercing gaze. Her graceful, serene face contributes to the paintings peaceful aspect.This painting is attributed to an artist who admired the Dominiquin and the Guerchin. Indeed, the two Italian painters produced numerous versions of these women, whose silk turbans adorned with gold and precious stones were a reminder of their oriental origins, and who were destined to prophesy the coming of Christ. We can also see a fantasy portrait of a woman in which the painter demonstrates his mastery of chiaroscuro, with contrasts softened by his knowledge of Venetian painting.Painting without frame:Width 90 cm x height 102 cm Width: 90cm, Height: 102cm, Depth: 6cm, Weight: 1kg, Condition: Condition of use, Material: Oil, ID: 12363

Daily scene of servants, oil on canvas, 19th century
sia antion, riga, latvia
This highly theatrical painting depicts a group of servants in the kitchen, two women and two men gathered around a table.The group is highlighted by a halo of light; behind them on the wall we can make out hanging knives, to the left a teapot, on the floor a large pot and a basket of vegetables, and to the right we can make out a staircase leading up to the upper floors.The scene is very lively and dynamic: smiling women busy with their daily chores are at the heart of this depiction.The seated woman holds what appears to be a newspaper in one hand and points to the right with the other, inviting her companions and the viewer to follow suit.This depiction of the working class at the end of the 18th century expresses the ideas and revolutionary winds then blowing through France.An intriguing and daring painting, as much for its subject as for its technique, with touches of vivid color contrasting with a darker background and a lovely work of chiaroscuro.This rare work will add an original touch to your collection and a French touch to your home!

Hunting scene, 18th century, Oil on canvas
sia antion, riga, latvia
This narrative-rich 18th-century painting most likely transports us to a lively hunting scene featuring noble men and women, killers and a horde of dogs hunting game.This painting offers a highly detailed composition, featuring the hunters, their horses and a steep, mountainside landscape that opens onto a deep perspective.The lord and his wife are on horseback in the foreground, and are accompanied by a number of highly detailed figures in full activity, including beaters, villagers, servants and dogs. On the right, a thatched cottage and a peasant woman look out over the scene.In the background, a village citadel rises up: the watchtower defends the entrance to the village on the side of a ravine, linked to the foreground by a narrow arched bridge, and the church steeple can be seen in the distance among the roofs of the village houses.Finally, in the last shot, a mountain landscape bathed in majestic blue and pink skies crowns this hunting scene.The framing is well mastered and dynamic: indeed, the succession of shots is remarkable, with strong narrative elements that give real depth to this vivid painting.Beautifully framed in rosewood and blackened pearwood, the painting has been cleaned, restored and mounted on canvas by our professional restoration workshop.

Large still life painting, Italian School, oil on canvas, 18th century
sia antion, riga, latvia
This monumental architectural painting depicts a stone fountain topped by a large bronze basin, from which an impressive floral arrangement unfurls. The ground is strewn with grapes, peaches and a pumpkin, symbolizing fertility and abundance.In the background, a décor of ancient ruins unfolds, with classical architectural elements lending an enigmatic atmosphere to this work.Finally, in the last shot, a wooded landscape with cypress trees reminiscent of Tuscany and a mountain in the distance. Above this luxuriant scene, a blue sky dotted with clouds ranging from grey to golden unfolds and illuminates the entire scene.Stylistically, this painting is in line with certain Italian still lifes of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. It probably comes from the workshop of an Italian master who understood the appeal of Dutch and Flemish works such as those by the artist Gaspar Pieter Verbruggen Le Jeune (1664-1730). One of these masters was Orsola Maddalena Caccia (1596-1676), considered a pioneer of still-life painting in Italy.In its pictorial style and choice of subject, the painting is also reminiscent of the works of Neapolitan painter Gasparo Lopez dei Fiori, who distinguished himself by his often redundant compositions of flowers, most often placed outdoors, in elaborate contexts rich in naturalistic and architectural elements.This majestic painting comes from the private collection of a renowned family, and was displayed in one of the familys villas in Cannes on the Côte dAzur in France.The painting is presented in a 19th-century gilded wooden frame, a fitting piece to adorn large walls: a classic, elegant setting that we never tire of admiring.Dimensions of unframed canvas :Height : 123 cmWidth : 187 cm Width: 205cm, Height: 140cm, Depth: 6cm, Weight: 1kg, Condition: Condition of use, Material: Oil, ID: 12346
