About the Item
This finely matched pair of early 20th century Italian pietra dura panels depicts a man and a woman in traditional costume, each rendered in carefully selected and precisely cut hardstones against a dark ground. The figures, shown leaning against architectural elements, reflect the period’s taste for genre subjects drawn from regional and folkloric sources, animated through naturalistic color and expressive posture.
Produced for the Grand Tour market, the panels exemplify the Florentine pietra dura tradition associated with workshops working in the orbit of the Opificio delle Pietre Dure. The richly carved and gilt frames, likely original, enhance the jewel-like quality of the compositions and underscore their intended function as decorative souvenirs for an international clientele. Together, the pair forms a harmonious and visually engaging ensemble, combining technical virtuosity with narrative charm.
