PREMAZZI, Luigi
(b. 1814, Milano, d. 1891, Istambul)

Afternoon Pursuits of a Lady

1846
Watercolour over pencil on paper, 160 x 240 mm
Private collection

This watercolour is an accurate depiction of a brightly lit loggia with a masterly control of perspective. It demonstrates many of the qualities that made Premazzi such a success among nineteenth-century Russian high society.

The picture is signed and dated lower left: 'L. Premazzi 1846'.
