Antique Italian oil painting of a lady reading by Reggianini
Italian, Late 19th Century
Canvas: Height 50cm, width 40cm
Frame: Height 69cm, width 58cm, depth 7cm
This remarkable oil painting, created by the esteemed Italian artist Vittorio Reggianini (1858–1938), exemplifies his expertise in historical genre scenes depicting 18th-century life.
The painting captures a joyful young woman lounging on a settee, deeply engrossed in a book. Her relaxed pose and contented smile convey the tranquillity of a leisurely moment. She is elegantly dressed in a soft pastel green satin gown, embellished with intricate lace detailing along the collar, sleeves, and hem. Her outfit is further enhanced by cream-colored shoes with dainty bows and a pearl hair accessory, exuding sophistication and charm.
The scene is set within a richly decorated interior, featuring historical elements that amplify its luxurious atmosphere. A Rococo-style console table with ornate scrolling legs and a marble top is positioned nearby, accompanied by a navy porcelain vase. A porcelain cup and saucer rest on the table, hinting at the woman’s enjoyment of tea while reading. The walls are lined with deep red floral silk wallpaper, matching the upholstery of the seat, while an emerald cushion adds a striking visual contrast.
Reggianini’s mastery of detail shines through in his depiction of textiles. The satin folds of the woman’s gown appear soft and tactile, while the silk wallpaper behind her exudes a palpable sense of texture, enhancing the painting’s lifelike quality.
Framed in an intricately carved giltwood frame, the artwork is signed 'VReggianini' in the lower left corner.
With its vibrant colours, exceptional craftsmanship, and engaging subject matter, this Italian masterpiece is a highly coveted addition to any art collection.

Group portrait painting after the hunt, oil on canvas
Located in London, GB
This charming painting depicts a group of gentlemen gathered around a kitchen table and admiring an English Setter. The snowy rooftops, just visible from the kitchen window, combined with the lit fire and holly decorating the picture frames in the room, implies that this is a Christmas scene. It also appears that the gentlemen have just returned from a fox hunt, and are now warming themselves, drinking port and smoking long pipes by the fire.
Five men — three gathered behind the table and two standing in front — are identically dressed in long black riding boots...

Teller 3
By Frank Arnold
Located in Fresno, CA
"Teller 3" Oil on Canvas presents a singular form and background in varying shades of green, blue, yellow and white and eart tones.
Frank Arnold is viewed as one of the foremost abstract figurative painters and sculptors of our time. He is a living master guided by a personal mission to “turn on a light in the human soul,” through his passionate creation of “Messengers” from his deeper mind connection with Carl Jung's archetypal images, the collective unconscious, and Jungian Synchronicity. These unconscious forms from his deeper mind resonate as personal messages of universal acceptance, reaching out to the viewer.
Arnold has been honored as IAD Artist of the year 2018 by International Artist Day, and 2013 FAC Horizon Artist Award. He has exhibited his artwork in numerous galleries and museums and is in collections worldwide. Arnold divides his working days between oil painting in San Jose del Cabo, Baja Sur...
