Lot Essay

This charming, early portrait attributed to Angelo Caroselli relates closely to his tondo of the same sitter in the collection of Ilaria Lemme, Rome, which differs only in the shape of boy’s hat and the color of the feathers (see M. Rossetti, Angelo Caroselli: 1585-1652: pittore romano: Copista, pasticheur, restauratore, conoscitore, Rome, 2015, p. 284, no. 43, fig. 43). The brilliant palette, meticulous handling of the facial features, and, by contrast, broad, rapid brushwork across the clothing are characteristic of Caroselli’s early works.
