Description : Doppio ritratto femminile

Oil on canvas. At the bottom right are the unidentified signature (partially erased), the location Rome and the date 1841. The portrait of this pair of women, presumably mother and daughter, is singular: the older woman is dressed strictly in black, in mourning, and her gaze is lost in the distance, chasing memories of her life, detaching herself from the present; the young woman, on the other hand, at the centre of the scene, is elegant and lively, in a pink dress and a precious white and gold satin cloak, with a white fur collar, a bunch of flowers in her hand; although leaning on the shoulder of the older woman, whom she holds under her arm with a confidential but also protective attitude, she displays a confident and determined expression, staring straight ahead towards the viewer, or perhaps reaching out towards the future that awaits her. Restored and relined, the painting is presented in a period frame.
