Refined 18th century Venetian interior scene painting

Offered by: Parino Mercato Antiquario

Description
Venetian school of the second half of the 18th century. Oil on canvas artwork depicting an interior scene with figures attributable to a follower of Pietro Longhi (1702-1785), of notable pictorial quality. We find four characters in this very theatrical and ironic genre scene. The composition revolves around a man who chases a woman with a pole, who, with a surprised expression, raises her hands to the sky. Two other characters on the right observe the event in amazement. The gestures suggest that the scene could represent a costume comedy or a sort of representational game. Elegant 19th century frame in carved and gilded wood, with some drops of gilding (see photo). Painting already restored with relining, replacement of the frame and repainting of the color in small spots. Overall in excellent condition. Internal size H 57 x W 44 cm.
