Description:

School of Salvator Rosa (Italian, 1615-1673)

Figures on a Rocky Ledge
Unsigned, inscribed with a museum accession number "186.1939" on the stretcher.
Oil on canvas, 14 5/8 x 12 in. (37.0 x 30.5 cm),framed.
Condition: Trimmed of tacking edges and lined, retouch, craquelure, minor surface grime.

Provenance: Private Massachusetts collection.
Estimate $2,500-3,500

Scattered dots retouch in the lower half of the composition and in the upper left side of the sky, which appear to be covering old losses. Craquelure seems stable, although there are some areas of tenting that are noticeable under raking light.
