Luigi Crosio (1835-1915) - La lettera d’amoreOil on canvas. Painted in 1867.53.1 x 37 inches, 135 x 94 cm. Estimate: €12,000-18,000.Sold Dorotheum, Vienna, 10 May 2022 for €14,080 incl B. P.Texting, Renaissance-style.Addendum: It has been brought to my attention that the maiden’s neckline, her hair, and OMG, her waistline!! indicates that the clothing worn is not that of a Renaissance woman, but the attire of a woman who lived some 200 years after the Renaissance ended. Unfortunately though, these salient points are outweighed by my sense of humour and, therefore, my feeble attempt at wittiness will remain unchanged.Whilst I strive for accuracy in my posts, this does not extend to anything I write in jest, nor the boring topic of women’s clothing. Perhaps we all need to get out more. -- source link
