ANTIQUE PAINTINGS, prints & FRAMES

Circa 1890.  Very large Orientalist art print.  As good as they get in the Orientalist style of the late 19th century, signed by the very well known and listed Italian artist, Luigi Crosio (1835- 1915).  Crosio was a painter and lithographer who studied at the Academia Albertina di Bella Arte Torino in the 1850's.  This print is a wonderful example of this Aesthetic Movement style for which he is well known.   The print is of a women reclining on a couch in a luxurious room.  She is being fanned by a servant while another servant admits a visitor from behind an elaborate drape.  The print is done in rich jewel tones and set in it's fine, original gilt gesso frame. The print also retains it's original glass and wood back.  Signed L. Crosio in the lower right corner.  The print is in good condition, the only damage is a long and short crease on the print of the reclining woman.  The frame is in good condition with small, minor touch ups to the original gilding.  The white streaks and blotches in the photos are reflections on the glass of our lights.   30 1/2 "high x 40 1/2" wide.  Price $600.
