ITEM DESCRIPTION
Item Description
Up for your consideration is a fine original Austrian oil painting on board the renowned genre painter Eduard Ritter (1808 - 1853). The painting depicts a mid-19th C. room with the mother gazing on her crying child. Two older children are gazing at their mother, and a cat is eyeing a ball of yarn. The room is illuminated by sunlight coming through a large window, which is just out of sight.
The piece is signed and dated in the lower left corner. The date is difficult to discern, there appears to be a "5" in the third position. If so, the piece was painted between 1850 - 1852. I provided the best picture possible (last photo).
The painting measures 6.65" x 8" (exposed), and the outer dimensions of the modern custom frame are 10" x 11.5". The painting is in excellent condition, free of craquelure, paint chips, or losses. The frame is also in excellent condition, showing light wear, commensurate with age and use.
