16. Mariano José Maria Bernardo Fortuny y Carbó (Spanish/Italian, 1838-1874) Study for "The Hindu Snake Charmer". Oil on canvas, not signed and attributed, not framed.

The finished piece is in the Walter's Art Gallery in Baltimore. Another version of this subject is found in the Hermitage in Leningrad. (Reference: page 141 of Les Orientalistes de e'cecole Italianne by Caroline Juler; the painting in Baltimore). Measures apprx 10-1/2"H x 24-3/4"W. 6,000/8,000 Sold: $4,600.00 |
