    Pair Of Companion Portraits

    This exceedingly elegant pair of mid-18th-century Italian portraits depicts a husband and wife dressed to impress in their finery. They originated from a significant Milanese collection.

    With eyes that speak of a tender heart, he looks towards the viewer. His plush dark green woollen coat paired with a golden waistcoat, white stock and shirt. In his right hand, a letter inscribed 'Milano', perhaps it's a love letter to his darling wife.

    She wears a sublime pink silk gown with lace sleeves, set over a pannier to create a desirable bell-shape. In her right hand, a single red rose - questo è amore, un matrimonio bellissimo!

    Rarely does one find such a charming pair as these, suitable to grace any wall.

    Held in later frames.
