Long Description
This Oil painting is 17" x15" and the oil painting itself is only 4.25" x 6". The gesso frame is 3.5" deep. It is painted on a wood panel. It is a beautiful young girl with two kittens. The frame appears to be done in gold flake. On the back you can see areas that the gold flake went around onto the rear of the frame. The frame is in excellent condition and the painting iteself has no damage at all. It is signed "Roma" in the bottom right hand corner.Ā We cannot find any info on the painting and tried to date it but can only see it is from the 1800's. We do know that there was a school in Rome where students painted and then signed the work "Roma". I would like to get some info on the artwork as well as a value.

Re: Antique Signed Gesso Framed Miniature Oil Painting "Girl...
Greetings,
Ā I just came across a very similar picture in an antique shop.Ā It is of a much better quality picture with very superb detail.Ā The signature is somewhat faded and IĀ will have it checked out.Ā
Ā I believe the one that you have is by someone named 'Roma'.Ā Probably from an art school, who copied the older original one that I have.
Ā Will keep checking the painting out and let you know as more details arise.
