54. An Allegorical Scene

An allegorical scene. Oil on canvas, no signature found, the canvas approx. 28" x 38", framed in a wide ornate gilt frame overall approx. 37" x 46". The narrative appears to describe an incident in a cave interior depicting a conflict among a complicated cluster of figures and animals in various poses. The central figure is a bearded man advancing on other figures, some of them already tumbled down. It appears to have been cut down at one time as some of the figures are cropped.
