Scipione SIMONI (1853-1918) , Italian,Watercolor M

Wonderful watercolor by an Italian watercolor master. This painting is the quintessential Simone watercolor. Best Known for his Italian genre scenes painted in watercolor.His auction sales have been strong and he is considered an artist in demand. Great painting. A genre scene showing daily life in this time period highlighting people in their local dress performing their daily shores and interacting with each other. The highest degree of detail is present in every aspect of this work. Note the wood grain and hinges on the doors. The exact depiction of all the work tools and utensils. The detail in all aspects of their clothing. A charming view of daily life. Women performing their duties and of course a man hanging around trying to make time. The hen struts around the area oblivious to what the humans are doing. This painting is one of his best works.The painting is in excellent condition.
