C19th Shakespeare watercolours in original gilt frames
Tax included.
Two beautifully executed watercolour copies of famous Shakespeare themed paintings in their original oval gilt frames c.1870.
The first is 'The Birth of Shakespeare' by Francesco Bartolozzi which shows the baby bard held by the angelic representation of Fame with the comedy/tragedy masks as shadows just beneath him. The second is 'Shakespeare's Tomb' by Angelica Kauffman, representing Fame again laying a wreath at the tomb of Shakespeare. The paintings are unsigned but clearly the work of a talented artist and the original frames are in excellent condition.
Price is for the pair.
