Description

Circle of Michelangelo Maestri, 
Italian fl.1802-1812- 

A figure and cherub in classical dress; 

oil on panel, 47 x 35.4 cm. 

Provenance: 
Private Collection, UK. 

Note: 
The present composition, depicting a dancing figure in Classical dress, exhibits a striking similarity to Maestri's scenes.
Maestri is mainly known for his bodycolours that he based on the then only recently discovered wall frescoes in Pompeii. The drawings, which are often over etched outlines became very popular amongst travellers on their Grand Tour. Besides Roman frescos, the artist also drew inspiration from Renaissance artists Giulio Romano (circa 1499-1546) and Raphael (1483-1520).
