Dimension with frame: 35 x 29,7 x 3,3 cm. A finely executed miniature devotional painting depicting the Madonna tenderly embracing the Christ Child. Executed in oil on copper and dating from the late 18th to early 19th century, the composition displays the intimate scale and luminous surface characteristic of copper paintings. The Virgin is shown wearing a deep blue mantle highlighted with delicate gilded details and crowned by a circle of stars, while the Christ Child rests affectionately in her arms. The work reflects the enduring influence of Baroque religious imagery and evokes the devotional paintings produced throughout the Spanish world during the colonial period, while remaining firmly rooted in the broader Continental European tradition. Its small scale, refined execution, and warm devotional character make it an appealing collector's piece. The painting is presented in an impressive carved and ebonized wooden frame that beautifully complements the richness of the composition.

Indistinctly signed in Bengali, dated ‘79 Bangladesh/Indian Indistinctly signed in Bengali and dated ‘79 Untitled - Fishermen 1979 Watercolour on paper Paper size: 34 x 53 cm Frame Size: 46 x 62.5 cm Provenance: From a private UK family A fabulously evocative watercolour painting showing fisherman, struggling against the elements. This is Bangladesh, 1979, not long after Independence, when the focus was on the working classes, the everyday struggle to make a living and when the artists depicting these times were concurrently exploring and establishing a new aesthetic. The painting combines naturalism with the wash method of watercolour painting and a reduced palette which allows for a rich harmony of shadow and light. Although appearing to simply utilize monotone colours, closer inspection reveals splashes of quite vivid colours; the yellow on the horizon, a deep crimson on the trousers of one of the figures, blue in the nets etc. The colour is subtle but adds a richness to the overall composition implying that this artist has received an academic training; knowing how to get the most from the materials. Add to this the beautiful watery effect from the wash on the paper and we can immediately see references to Bengal school art techniques. It is not surprising that the artist employs this medium. Neuroarthistory points to the rich heritage of Bengal school painters and the fascination with wash technique emanating from their connection to the water which provides the backbone for the region. From supplying food; fish and seafood, to transportation, agriculture and festivities. Bengal and Bangladesh live and die with the water. Some of the leading protagonists of the mid 20th century Bengal school of painters were equally captivated by the same subject and ideology. D P Roy Choudhury was a leading figure in the academic art institutions in the first half of the 20th century. He was also a great experimenter of style. In the image shown,, we can see Choudhury’s treatment of the same subject and how he to chose the monotone palette. It is through observing the similarities and differences that we begin to learn more about the times these artists were painting in and in the case of the Bangladeshi artists how they were approaching the political traumas of the time. The label to the back of the frame tells its own story;. Saju Arts & Crafts, Dacca-12. “Saju was born in 1944 in Ramu, Cox's Bazar. At one point, he became friends with Shamsul Islam Nizami, one of the veteran painters of Bangladesh. At that time, Nizami was a teacher of the Institute of Fine Arts (now Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Dhaka). Nizami introduced Saju to all the notable painters in the contemporary art scenario -- from master painters like Zainul Abedin, Quamrul Hassan...

This authentic 19th-century oil portrait depicts a young European woman in traditional attire, painted with refined academic realism and quiet emotional restraint. The sitter is shown in three-quarter view, wearing a straw hat with a blue ribbon, a lace-trimmed blouse, and a dark bodice, delicately holding a small basket of flowers. The soft transitions of light across the face, gentle blush tones, and composed expression reflect mid-19th-century European portrait traditions, closely aligned with Biedermeier and early Realist aesthetics. The background is intentionally subdued, allowing full focus on the sitter’s character and presence. Brushwork is controlled and confident, with careful modeling of facial features and textiles. The composition suggests a formal studio portrait rather than a genre scene, typical of European academic painting of the period. 📏 Measurements: Painting approx. 19.5" × 24"; Framed approx. 30" × 26" 🎨 Medium: Oil on canvas 🖋️ Artist: Signed and dated 1868 in the lower right (signature partially legible) 🖼️ Frame: Original period gilt wood frame; minor wear, losses, and age-related surface imperfections ✔️ Condition: Stable age-related craquelure throughout.
