Lot 68

Description

Circle of Angelica Kauffman, RA, 
Swiss 1741-1807- 

A maiden with classical trophies in a landscape; 

oil on copper, 31 x 23.8 cm. 

Provenance: 
Anon. sale, Christie's South Kensington, 9 November 2000, lot 229. 
The Property of the Late Reverend John Watson. 

Note: 
The present work, with its mournful central figure surrounded by discarded spears, helmets and shields, likely represents an allegorical subject related to battle or wartime. The chain attached to the maiden's arm, together with the faint army tents in the background, could indicate that the woman personifies a conquered territory or nation, possibly 'Weeping Dacia', whose crouched, veiled figure is often accompanied by abandoned weapons.
