About the Item

This oil on canvas painting, signed Silvio Rotta in the lower left corner, is a captivating depiction of daily life in a modest family, probably dating from the late 19th century. The work does not have a certificate of attribution, but the exceptional quality of the painting and the evocative scene it portrays are noteworthy. The composition focuses on a child engaged in his morning routine in a modest bedroom. The unmade bed in the background and the simplicity of the room, along with the child's humble clothing, suggest an attention to social realism, a theme explored in the works of realist artists of the second half of the 19th century. The melancholy atmosphere of the scene is palpable, reflecting the artist's sensitivity to the nuances of daily life and the socio-economic conditions of the time. The painting is sold with a newly crafted wooden frame, which complements the artwork while allowing the viewer to fully appreciate the intricate details and emotional depth of the painting. This work is a testament to his ability to capture the essence of human experience and the subtleties of social themes through his art.

Original Oil on Canvas Painting After Norman Mills Price
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Unsigned Original oil on canvas painting after Norman Mills Price. Canvas is a bit loose. Frame appears to be original. Canvas and Frame show age. See image of illustration of the same image signed in corner by Norman Mills Price "Norman Mills Price never fully received the popular recognition that his work deserved. Because he was so intently interested in historical subjects, he restricted his work to these almost exclusively. The dedication and artistry he brought to his work, however, was especially appreciated and respected by a select group – his fellow-illustrators. His painstaking research into every detail made each picture an authentic documentary, but the detail was never allowed to detract from the dramatic concept of the illustration itself. Although Price made effective use of tone and color, his pen-and-ink drawings were especially effective, exhibiting a full range of values and textural effects." "Price was born in Canada, studied art there and in London and Paris. By 1912, he had established himself in New York and had begun to work for American publications. Some of his most successful illustrations were done for a long series of historical novels by Robert W. Chambers for Liberty magazine. He was a charter member of the Society of Illustrators at the time of his death." "Illustrator, Norman Mills Price was born in Brampton, Ontario (1877) and began his studies at the Ontario School of Art. Around 1901 he spent time in London, studying at the Goldsmith's Institute; Westminster School of Art; and with Cruikshank. While in London, he was the founder of Carlton Studios. He later went on to Paris, studying at the Academie Julian, with J.P. Laurens and R.E. Miller. He did freelance work in Paris until an assignment in Belgium for Century brought him to the attention of other American publishers. In 1911, he had a studio in New York City, and worked for such publication as Harper's, Cosmopolitan, and Liberty. He illustrated the novels: "The Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare (1905), The Rogue's Moon (1929), Leif Erikson...
