A captivating pair of 19th-century oil on canvas paintings, both depicting the same classical female subject in complementary poses. Rendered with remarkable attention to form and composition, these works reflect the Romantic Academic style, blending idealized figural studies with lush natural settings and symbolic objects.
One scene shows the subject beside a spinning wheel, suggestive of industry and domestic virtue, while the other captures her gracefully pouring water from a terracotta vessel, surrounded by ripe fruits — symbols of abundance and sensuality. The rich, verdant backgrounds and checkerboard floors evoke an otherworldly, almost theatrical setting, grounding the classical nudes in allegorical narratives.
Both canvases have been professionally mounted to hard masonite board and set in later, understated gold frames that complement the rich palette without detracting from the artistry. One painting bears the artist’s signature in the lower right corner. Measuring approximately 26.25 inches high, 16 inches wide, and 1 inch deep each, these striking compositions display beautifully as a pair, offering a rare and elegant statement for any art collection or classical interior.
Antique condition with signs of wear, paint losses/chips, surface wear to painting and frames. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.
From a décor standpoint, this elegant pair makes a striking focal point when displayed together, whether flanking a mantel, adorning a study, or enriching a gallery wall. Their timeless subject matter and balanced composition lend a sense of classical romance and refined sophistication to any interior.
