EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite oval portrait of a woman in profile, surrounded by a decorative border adorned with grotesques and swags. The artist behind this masterpiece is Giuseppe Cades, an Italian painter from the 18th century. The portrait itself is rendered in red and black chalk, capturing the delicate features and elegance of the subject. The surrounding border, created using various mediums such as pen and black ink, blue, yellow, red, and green washes, adds depth and richness to the overall composition. Flanking the portrait are allegorical figures of Fame and Victory holding a coronet. These symbolic elements further enhance the narrative within the artwork. Measuring 36 cm in diameter, this circular piece exudes baroque influences with its intricate details and ornate design. The artist's skillful use of negative space creates a striking contrast against the subject's skin tone. The oval shape emphasizes both femininity and grace while highlighting the woman's beauty through her attire and headwear. Her raised arms add a sense of movement to her posture. Overall, this stunning artwork exemplifies Cades' mastery in portraiture as well as his ability to infuse allegorical elements into his compositions. It serves as a testament to his talent as an Italian artist during that era.
