About the Item

An allegory of loyalty, with the subject's dog pictured seated, holding his master's chisel in his mouth; fidelity personified. Italian School, 18th century Ink wash in gray and black with heightening in brown pen and ink on cream laid paper, laid down to an archival matrix, 9 3/4 x 7 inches (247 x 178 mm). In good condition with some minor surface soiling and slight attenuation, especially visible in the areas with brown ink. Adhesive residue on the verso at the top corners, and bottom center margin, does not effect the recto. The name "Argentini..." appears in ink on the recto in the lower right margin.
