This is a really beautiful original piece of art work - by a 19th century Italian watercolorist / portrait / genre painter
Nice size - larger than normal - the art itself is 11.5 x 17 inches and the whole frame is 20 x 26. It's been very expensively framed - hand painted matting - gilded etc - the outermost part of frame has a bit of damage the ribbon molding has broken off a bit - the frame is OLD - very likely contemporary with the piece
a beautiful pretty elegant flower girl - neopolitan? in red velvet blouse - with skirts - lovely ankles and a basket of flowers
her face is very pretty -
signed in bottom left corner- on the back has written label in Italian - the label says the artist is Mazzaroni RICCARDI - born circa 1858 - he's listed in Benezit. My own research indicates it could also be by Paolo Mazzaroni -(Italian,1826-1873)
