Description: This is a wonderful and charming Antique Old 19th c. Italian Figures Landscape Painting, Gouache and possibly Watercolor on paper, by the late 19th century - early 20th century Florentine School Italian painter, Emilio Papini (1870 - 1950.) This artwork depicts a charming scene of a lovely young maiden riding atop a donkey. She is being guided by a young man wearing a wide brimmed hat, with a shovel resting over his right shoulder. This subject is likely a young man who works his days as a rural farmhand, who attempts to charm the young lady on the way to their destination. In the distance, the famous Duomo di Firenze cathedral is visible. Signed: "E. Papini" in the lower left corner. Additionally, an old provenance label affixed to the verso of the frame reads: "Antique Italian Water Color. Setting - Florence, Italy, with The Duomo (Cathedral) in background. Purchased in Florence, September 1954." Approximately 14 1/4 x 18 1/2 inches (including frame.) Actual visible artwork is approximately 7 7/8 x 11 5/8 inches. Very good condition for age, with some mild scuffing and edge wear to the original vintage gilded wood frame (please see photos.) Acquired from an old collection in Los Angeles, California.
