About the Item

Pair of genre portrait paintings by Italian artist Giovanni Bragolin Italian, 20th Century Frame: Height 85cm, width 65cm, depth 5cm Canvas: Height 70cm, width 50cm, depth 1cm This pair of paintings is by the Italian genre painter Giovanni Bragolin. The paintings depict young boys in a condition of extreme poverty; each boy cries with sadness at his condition, dressed in tattered clothes and with a dirtied face and hair. Both are set against a background of a decrepit wooden structure, perhaps a shack or fence. The colour palette is subdued and sombre, and the style of execution is fluid and painterly. Bragolin’s paintings should be viewed within the broader context of genre painting, particularly that strand popular in Britain in the 19th century and evident in the work of artists like Luke Fildes. Each painting is signed and held within a giltwood frame.

Pair of 19th Century British Equestrian Oil Paintings
Located in London, GB
Pair of 19th century British equestrian oil paintings British, 19th Century Boards: Height 25cm, width 32cm Frames: Height 35cm, width 42cm, depth 4cm This attractive pair of 19th-century oil paintings beautifully captures the elegance and charm of Victorian sporting art. Rendered with fine detail and vibrant hues, the paintings are enhanced by their original wooden frames and equal dimensions, making them ideal for display as a complementary set. Each artwork features a 19th-century racehorse alongside its jockey, portrayed with striking use of colour and a keen eye for character. In the first composition, a chestnut horse is shown being led across an open landscape by a gentleman in stylish rural dress, likely the owner. The jockey, seated confidently atop the animal, wears vivid blue silks. The lower right corner bears a faint signature, and the reverse of the canvas includes indistinct handwritten text, presumably of the horse’s name. The second painting shows another similarly hued racehorse, this time in profile, with its jockey dressed in bold yellow silks and a burgundy riding cap. The back of this canvas is clearly marked with the name ‘Red Robin’. Rich in colour and full of period charm, this matched pair of antique equestrian paintings would appeal to collectors of horse racing...
