Description: For sale: Original oil painting - Women's portrait, signed G. Maresca or S. Maresca Napoli 1948. This beautiful and unique artwork measures 18" x 14", while the frame measures 20 5/8" by 16 5/8".Considering its age, the painting is in very good condition. I have taken photos from different angles to show all the aged imperfections it has. However, when it comes to painting hands, it displays beautifully.As for its history, the true story behind this enchanting portrait remains a mystery to me. However, I can't help but wonder and speculate that it captures a moment just after WWII, portraying the subject with grace and beauty. Perhaps the woman's husband, stationed in Italy during and after the war, crossed paths with the artist and decided to commission this remarkable piece as a heartfelt gift, based on an original photo of his beloved wife. Of course, I must emphasize that this is merely a fascinating theory, adding a touch of intrigue to the artwork's allure.I want to clarify that I am not an expert in antiques. Therefore, I encourage you to carefully review all the provided photos, as they accurately represent the item's condition. What you see in the images is exactly what you will receive. If you require any additional photos or have any specific inquiries, please do not hesitate to let me know. Your satisfaction is my priority.
