About the Item

Emilio Magistretti (Milan 1851 - Milan 1936) - Girl with tiger. 67 x 56 cm without frame, 83 x 72 cm with frame. Antique oil painting on canvas, in a contemporary carved and lacquered wooden frame. - Work signed bottom left: “E. Magistretti". Condition report: Lined canvas. Good state of conservation of the pictorial surface. Emilio Magistretti (Milan 1851 – Milan 1936) was an Italian painter active between the second half of the 19th century and the early 20th century. His style, while maintaining a strong realistic basis, was influenced by the techniques of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism that he encountered during his stay in Paris. This fusion of traditional and modern elements made him capable of capturing the essence of his subjects with great realism and of capturing a deep introspection in his portraits. His subjects show great humanity combined with a vibrant and dynamic application of color. Our girl is depicted bare-breasted while embracing a tame tiger cub. The enigmatic expression on her face suggests calm and self-confidence, which also emerge from the attributes of nudity and the dangerous feline. The work is signed lower left and is very reminiscent of the stylistic features of Parisian art of the period, so the model could have been portrayed during this period. The frame, in carved and cream-coloured lacquered wood, is original and contemporary with the canvas. - This item is sold with a certificate of authenticity with legal validity. - Further details on the condition report are available upon request. *Please keep in mind that this work has not yet obtained the certificate of free export from Italy from the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage.
