Presented in an impressive ornate gilt frame with deeply molded scrolling and foliate ornamentation. The substantial scale and warm, aged finish give the work wonderful Old World presence.
The painting is unsigned and is a later interpretation after Lemoyne; it is not represented as an original work by the artist. Executed on a canvas/textile support with rigid backing. Exact age and artist are unknown.
Overall dimensions: approximately 49” H × 38.5” W.
A dramatic decorative painting for a traditional, French, Baroque Revival, Grand Tour, maximalist or collected interior.
