Description
Circle of Giacomo Francesco Cipper, known as Todeschini (Feldkirch 1664 – Milan 1736) – Genre scene with young man and jug.
Oil on canvas, unframed.
The painting depicts a young man wearing a broad-brimmed hat and open shirt, shown half-length holding an earthenware jug; behind him, a young female figure emerges from the dark ground. On the foreground table lie a few dried fruits and a white cloth. The composition is closely related to the typical repertoire of Todeschini: popular figures caught in everyday moments, rendered with a fluid brushstroke and a palette dominated by browns and ochres.
Condition report: Lined canvas. Surface in good condition.
