Very charming and beautifully done watercolor of two Italian youth in a landscape. Dating to the late 19th century, it is full of excellent detail and brushwork. The costumes are rendered with exceptional attention to the smallest of details. Very well-done faces; even the hands are expert. Signed in the lower left-hand corner, it appears to be "C. Ferrano" or some variation on that. Older mat has been painted over, the frame is original to the painting.
In excellent condition. Minort browning along the edge of the matboard. No apparent fading or loss to color/vibrancy. The frame has been overpainted with gold, there are small bits on the lower two corners that are missing, very minor. Otherwise clean and structurally solid.
The frame measures 29.5" x 23", the art is 20" x 13.75"
