Pair of allegorical oil paintings
$67
These fine oil paintings are a brilliant example of Cornicelius’ figurative work, portraying Classically inspired personifications of the senses.
Depicting two of the five senses: Sound and Taste- Sound as a female figure draped in robes holding a tambourine in her raised left hand with a cherub by her side seated on a garland of flowers and playing the bagpipes decorated with a further garland of flowers to the upper left corner and flowers below; Taste as a male figure draped in robes holding a glass of wine in his right hand and a sceptre in his left hand with a cherub in front of him holding a garland of flowers in his raised left hand and a jug in his lowered right hand decorated with a further garland of flowers to the upper right corner, a vine with grapes through the centre and flowers below.
