Photo of the back of a floral still life by francesco bosso (1864-1933). [1] a written note on the backing paper, "frutti fiori del foà", may indicate the work was commissioned or collected by a member of the jewish foà family prominent at this time in vercelli and turin, where the artist lived and worked. [2] the circled letter a may indicate this was one of a pair, as the artist often painted pendant still lifes.
