Afternoon Pursuits of a Lady
by PREMAZZI, Luigi, Watercolour over pencil on paper, 160 x 240 mm
This watercolour is an accurate depiction of a brightly lit loggia with a masterly control of perspective. It demonstrates many of the qualities that made Premazzi such a success among nineteenth-century Russian high society.
The picture is signed and dated lower left: ‘L. Premazzi 1846’.
