Cino, depicting an expressive young boy in the Neapolitan style.

The painting is housed in an exceptionally grand and luxurious framing presentation. It is set into a monumental, multi-tiered Rococo-revival gilt wood gallery frame boasting deeply carved acanthus leaf borders, heavy scrolling corner flourishes, and an incredibly deep profile.
