About the Item

Lovely 18th century Italian framed painting on canvas of a group of musical instruments, including a French horn, lute, violin and pan flute, all hanging from a ribbon with a big bow on top and tassels on the bottom. A very charming work in the muted palate of blues and pinks typical of 18th century Venice. Beautifully painted in the trompe l'oeil style. On the original stretcher in a later oak frame. My new favorite item. See condition below. Good scale: 54.75 inches high 25 wide 1.5 deep
