Original Maximo Caballero Oil on Canvas Painting
Item Details
An exquisite and highly sought-after original oil on canvas painting signed to the lower left-hand corner by well-listed Spanish painter of antiquity, Maximo Caballero (1867 – 1951). The scene that transpires in this painting is overflowing with a brink of intimacy. A Dutch barmaid is being eagerly sought by a gallant swordsman in elegant attire. Her expression is thoughtful yet coy, a successfully subtle juxtaposition, her hands delicately mirror her face. The moment is a beautiful distillation of flirtation, the situational atmosphere an axiom pervading time or place, a scene that could be witnessed in any modern bar room where the sexes mingle. The brushwork is seamless, and light is conveyed in a manner that plays up the drama of the moment. Truly a magnificent work of art, worthy of the finest collectors. The painting is immaculately contained in a superlative wooden frame with plaster gild trim, molded in a seashell motif that kindly reflects Victorian grandiosity.
Condition
-the surface of the painting does exhibit light crackling consistent with age, but is otherwise in superb condition, the frame is especially regal.
