A truly beautiful circa 1890 print of elegant Parisians strolling past and perusing the famous Bouquiniste bookstalls along the banks of the Seine River, not signed in plate nor in pencil but certainly by a listed or even important and well-known artist. To date, reverse image searches and other internet research have, frustratingly, not revealed the identity of that artist. There are no watermarks...
"Springtime on the Tiber with the Vatican Dome in the distance" by Ottaviani. Roman School mid 20th century. Oil on Canvas in an Italian Frame. 19 x 14". Frame Size 26 x 20".
While we have yet to identify the artist or the subject, we would contend that the work is first rate considering the mood captured by the painter. The man exudes a somewhat austere aristocratic brood, yet exudes the strengths of youth and ambition, a man ready to make his place in the world.
We believe the work to be of the British school painted c. 1850 or earlier as suggested by the early Victorian shape of the seat rail...

The (mirror-inverted) coat of arms with lions and lozenges in front of the ruler’s feet is attested (since the end of the 14th century) to the Dukes of Bavaria.
The view of Rome is based on the woodcu...
