Oil on panel with a dance of cupids, Central Italy, 17th century.

Interesting overdoor painting depicting a mythological scene set in a wooded landscape, in which festive cupids dance and play musical instruments, while adorning a marble statue with long garlands of flowers. This is an unusual iconography that deserves further study to define its precise cultural scope. The panel support suggests a painting executed in the 17th century or perhaps earlier. Measurements with antique frame 40cm x 77cm. We attach a certificate of authenticity to the sale.
