About the Item

G. Vaccaro. Italian ( 19th Century ). La Contadina. Pencil Charcoal On Paper. Signed Dated (18)65 Lower Right. Paper size 28.9 inches x 34.8 inches ( 73.5cm x 88.5cm ). Frame size 32.3 inches x 38.4 inches ( 82cm x 97.5cm ). Available for sale; this large mid-19th century drawing uses traditional and classical drawing techniques. The style and the subject matter looks older as it imitates Renaissance or Baroque figure studies. The artwork is signed G.Vaccaro and is dated (18)65. The origin is likely to be Italian although the style matches both French and Italian academic schools. The drawing was sourced by us in the South of France. The drawing is presented and supplied in a glazed veneered wooden frame dating from the mid-20th century (which is shown in these photographs). This antique drawing is in good condition, commensurate with its age. It is in an untouched condition having never been restored. This vintage drawing is in very good decorative condition, commensurate with its age. It wants for nothing and is supplied ready to hang and display. The drawing is signed and dated lower right. This is an original 1865 pencil and charcoal drawing by G. Vaccaro, signed and dated in the lower right corner. The artwork depicts a seated woman in traditional attire, rendered with fine detail and expressive shading. Dressed in a flowing gown with puffed sleeves and a bonnet, the figure exudes quiet dignity and strength. In the foreground sits a simple bowl of gathered produce, a symbolic element often associated with sustenance, home, and everyday life. Executed with masterful use of line and shadow, the drawing highlights the artist’s classical technique and sensitivity to form. The strong contours and soft gradations of shading create a timeless composition that blends realism with subtle impressionistic qualities. This large antique pencil sketch by G. Vaccaro would appeal to decorators or collectors of mid-19th century figurative art, traditional portrait drawings, and works celebrating rural or historical themes. It is a fine example of 19th-century European draughtsmanship, ideal for display in a home, gallery, or a private collection. © Big Sky Fine Art
