18th C. Florentine ANGEL Portrait-Gabriele?

Antique Italian Oil Painting ? Exceptional

<p>
This compelling 18th C. Italian portrait is masterfully painted. The work features a striking figure holding a stem of lilies. The work was part of a private European estate and is likely Florentine in origin. The commanding figure is reputed to be that of the Angel Gabriele, traditionally depicted with robes and holding a stem of white lilies. The painting is unsigned and may even be a fragment from a larger canvas.
<p>
The portrait is set in an old Florentine polychrome frame that appears to have been made from a larger frame and cut to fit this work. It makes a striking compliment to the work. The canvas has been cleaned and re-lined in recent years, so the work is in marvelous condition, with expected crackelure. The canvas has been mounted onto new wooden stretchers. There are some spots of over-painting visible with a black light but they are mostly in the background, with a few on the flowers and neck (see black light photo detail)
<p>
The framed painting measures approximately 29.5" x 26". Unframed the canvas measures approximately: 23.5" x 19.5"
