Ghostly Family. 19th-century oil on canvas, mounted. Unsigne - Lot 374
Ghostly Family. 19th-century oil on canvas, mounted. Unsigned. With its sketchy quality, this work seems to draw inspiration from the famous post-mortem photographs popular in the 19th century, in which the deceased were depicted in lifelike poses. Was this a coincidence or the artist’s deliberate intention? It took little more than that for the work to find its way into Baron B. de N.’s collection. Dimensions: 19 x 25 cm.
