Refined pair of watercolors on paper, in carved and gilded wooden frames. The two watercolors depict two shepherd musicians, one woman and one man, in period attire. The man is depicted playing the pipe, while the woman is shown playing the harpsichord. This is a pair of watercolors of great taste and refinement, appreciated for the fine stylistic and physiognomic rendering of the figures, capable of adding a touch of class to any environment. On both works, the artist's signature "D. De Angelis" is present at the bottom, referring to the famous Roman painter Domenico De Angelis (1735-1804), also known for his "popular" watercolors, as well as being celebrated as the painter of the Roman Borghese family. Finally, slight defects to the frames are noted, with a plaque on the back indicating they originate from a French-Parisian workshop. Roman manufacture from the late 18th century.
