Description:

Watercolour of Egyptian theme without a title, signed "Leand. Russ." to one side of the painting and "Wien 1837" to the other.

Original Painting either after or by Leander Russ. In my view likely by Russ. It follows a similar style to his illustration "Allegorie - Aus dem Leben des Kaisers Ferdinand I von Österreichs".

Painted on paper, with minor wear to the edges and folds to the corners - see images. Faded and yellowed to the edges where it has previously been framed, with gilt illumination to the crown on the woman's crown, the edges of the book/Bible at the base and some of the leaf scrolls. With a pencil annotation to the rear at the base, most likely to do with the framing.

See other painting I am listing soon in a similar style.

Purchased with a group of paintings and prints at auction.

Size: 15 and quarter inches by 11 and a quarter inches.
