Sotheby's catalogue note: arturo ricci studied in florence under tito conti and specialized in figurative subjects, genre scenes and views of elegant family life, as in the present work. He was celebrated for his unparalleled skill and draftsmanship, and his audacious use of color. Like his contemporaries vittorio reggianini of modena, and charles frederick soulacroix of paris, he created a vision of the past as a world of iridescent satins and rustling silks, nostalgic tableaux that imagined a golden age of elegance before the industrial revolution forever changed daily life. Object Type: painting. Date: before 1919. Place of creation: Florence. Dimensions: height: 120 cm (47.2 in); width: 91.4 cm (35.9 in). Medium: oil on canvas. Collection: Unknown location. Arturo Ricci 020 (38672007164)
