About the Item

This striking 19th-century painting signed "A. Malevolti 1877 Florence" is a fine example of the trompe l’oeil tradition, in which artists skillfully render imagery that "tricks the eye." The work depicts a vividly colored game bird suspended by a red string—an illusionistic composition typical of hunting-themed still life from this era. The plumage is rendered in exquisite detail, with bold blacks, deep reds, and iridescent blues, creating visual drama against the neutral-toned wooden panel. The oval painting is mounted within a highly detailed giltwood frame with textured insert, enhancing the theatrical presentation. A rare and arresting piece, this painting appeals to collectors of natural history art, Old Master techniques, and period decorative arts.
