19th Century Oil on Canvas English Signed E.B.J. Painting Prophecies of Witches

About the Item

Antique English painting from the second half of the 19th century. Artwork oil on canvas depicting a subject taken from William Shakespeare's Macbeth, The prophecies of the witches, of excellent pictorial quality. Painting of large size, exceptional quality, with a subject that is difficult to find, for antique dealers, interior decorators and collectors. Artwork that presents, at the feet of the main character, a monogram on a rock (see photo) E. B. J. attributable to the famous English painter Edward Burne Jones (1833-1898), lacking authentication and additional documentation. Painting with a dark background, deliberately gloomy and theatrical, where the witches surround Macbeth and in the lower right corner a child holds a twig in his hands (referring to the third prophecy, see photo). Painting adorned with a 20th century carved, lacquered and gilded wooden frame deliberately treated to highlight signs of wear (see photo). Painting that has undergone a conservative restoration, relining, replacement of the frame and color recovery in various points (see photo). Canvas in good condition, with a small drop of color in the center (on the left of Macbeth's headdress, see photos). Sight size H 97 x W 122 cm.
