128. Lucius Rossi (Italian, 19th Century)

"The Actor". Watercolor, signd in the lower right corner, matted and framed under glass, approx. 15" x 9", with frame overall 27" x 20". A slender actor stands beside a fence surrounded by foliage. The face of the actor is in deep shadow from the large picture hat. The lace gloves and the two chantelaines attached at the waist are nice details. This sort of cross-costuming was often done at the time in the theatre. The images of this nature have since become very collectable.
