Description:

Francesco Ballesio (Italian, 1860-1923), "Preparing for the Dance", watercolor, signed lower left, pencil-titled en verso, 34 in. x 23 in., in a carved, gessoed and giltwood frame.

  • Notes: Note: Inspired by the somewhat mythical European concept of the East, Ballesio was one of the most adept Italian painters of the Orientalist tradition. His cool, bright palette, combined with his extraordinary attention to texture and material, create works teeming with a sense of emotion and activity. As evident in the present painting, Ballesio is able to convey a sense of joyful exuberance with deft handling of the tonal qualities of light and shadow.
