86. 19th Century Italian Painting of an Angel

Trumpeting Angel. Oil on board, not signed. Graphite marks on back read "?terina ?eronzo". The image measures approx. 9-1/2" x 4"W; overall in a gothic style gilt wood frame 17-1/2" x 6-1/2". Very nice quality painting; a copy of a 16th Century angel, with gold leafed background, set into an attractive architectural frame. This is likely a piece that was made for sale as a Grand Tour souvenir devotional object. There are some rubbed away inscriptions on verso, one word of which appears to be "Firenze".
