Locatelli, Orientalist oil painting on panel depicting a figure sheltered from the wind, 99.5 x 55.5 cm. A medium-sized oil painting on panel, characterized by a vertical composition that portrays a solitary figure wrapped in heavy, dark robes and a hood. The work is executed using a textural painting technique, employing broad, impasto brushstrokes of earthy and ochre tones, creating a surface rich in tactile texture. The subject is depicted in a withdrawn pose, seated on a light-colored surface that suggests a stone floor or an interior courtyard. The figure, facing the viewer, conveys a sense of introspection and solemnity. In the lower right corner is a legible signature painted in a dark shade. The panel support exhibits a slight convex curvature. The work is set in a period wooden frame, characterized by a multi-tiered, tapering profile with a gray-green metallic finish, which shows signs of wear consistent with its age.
Dimensions: 99.5 x 55.5 cm.
