Contadino in riposo

Anselmo Gianfanti (Montiano, 1857 - Cesena, 1903) - Oil on board; cm 23 x 32

This painting can be dated on the stylistic basic to the 1890s and confirms the influence of the Florentine environment and Domenico Morelli.

n the centre of the scene, the farm labourer is seated on the ground, leaning against a wall, and with his head bent, enjoys a moment of rest.

He is wearing a white shirt and worn trousers, sign of his poverty. The light is faint and dark tones ……in the background.

Still life with fruit is painted on the front of the wooden panel.
