19th Century Italian Portrait of a Dog c. 1823

$4,800.00

A lovely 19th century portrait of a dog sitting in front of an open window and next to a piece of bread and glass of water. The back of the painting is inscribed (translated from Italian):

“Ferdinando Passeri Modi—In token of my love and gratitude to his chosen one, C. Giuseppe Pasolini, I give this small fruit of my labors. 1823”

The painting is believed to be a portrait of the artist’s dog, made as a gift to his uncle Count Giuseppe Pasolini, who at the time of this painting’s creation was a young child but went on to have an illustrious political career, rising to become the President of the Senate in 1876 before he fell ill and retired.

Condition: Good, wear consistent with age. The painting is not backed and has been fitted into a slightly larger frame.

Dimensions: 23” W x 28.75 L” (including the frame)
