About the Item

This pair of antique watercolor paintings are done by an unknown artist, likely from France or Italy in circa 1880 in a Renaissance style. The paintings each depict a couple in a ballroom setting dressed in period Renaissance costumes. The paintings are done in muted pastel tones with sepia tone outlines. Both watercolors are framed in very elaborately hand carved softwood frames with a gilt finish. The paintings are both signed, or initialed in the lower right corners, but are completely illegible.

Nargeol Adrien Pair Prints Painted Watercolor With Gilded Frames
Located in Prato, Tuscany
We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Pair of prints engraved by burin and painted in watercolor; both are a tribute to Cupid; the name Cupid - meaning desire, lust - was given by the Romans to the Greek god of love, actually called Eros. Alternatively, he was called just Love always by the Latins. As the son of Aphrodite, goddess of love, he, like his mother, was capable of any act, even deplorable. In the first print, which has been cut out and shaped, there are two young girls offering God a basket of fruit and a goblet of wine; in the second print a mature woman is about to be hit by Cupid's love arrow; both prints have been made with a beautiful burin engraving, then finished with delicate watercolors. The frames are handmade in gilded wood. The prints were made between 1850 and 1855 by Adrien Nargeol (see signature) a prolific and talented French engraver and were published in the "Journal des Demoiselles...
