back to top

A pair of Italian oil paintings in a Grand Tour style housed in period gold finished frames.

Dating to the mid 19th century,  these paintings display a scene titled ‘Cupid in the Chariot of Swans’, depicting a continental school version of Cupid driving a swan-drawn chariot, together with its companion showing Cupid falling from the swan-drawn chariot, by the same hand.

The putto symbolise love and invoice shown seated in a golden chariot drawn by two graceful white swans.

Showcasing technique and design, this striking pair can be displayed as a unique wall decor for an interior looking to highlight Italian artistry.
