18th Century, Pair of Italian Neoclassical Grisaille Tempera on Paper Paintings This pair of tempera paintings on paper, was made in Piedmont, Italy, in the neoclassical era, towards the end of the eighteenth century.

At the center of each painting stands a classic vase decorated with garlands and frames with vegetable elements, taken with goat heads with long horns. The vase is adorned with a floral decoration topped by a long vertical element that simulates a stand. Along the axis are woven garlands foliated in the center of which are represented ovoid bas-reliefs. The base of the lift, of classical and circular taste, supports two swans with outstretched wings and ends with a small circular podgy element. In the lower part of the vase is depicted a horizontal element that supports a precious folded fabric, decorated with filigree and trimmings at the edges, behind which protrudes a flowered garland. These two particular paintings are very decorative and elegant and are suitable to be exhibited alongside other works in any environment, also in boiserie.

Conceptually very modern, and suitable for both antique and contemporary furniture. In good condition, the paintings are presented using wooden panels...
