Beautiful oil painting on canvas of considerable size, framed in an elegant carved and gilded wooden frame. The work, entitled "At Rest", was created by the artist Francesca Stuart Sindici (Madrid 1858 - Rome 1929), whose signature "Sindici", acquired surname of her husband, is visible at the bottom right. The painter Francesca Stuart Sindici was and is renowned for her equestrian paintings depicting cavalry and horses, mainly producing miniatures. During her career, she created only two large-format works, both kept in Italy: a painting currently exhibited at the Quirinale in the Hall of the Cuirassiers and this extraordinary painting, which further increases its value. The work depicts two horses "at rest", in a naturalistic context. The meticulous attention to detail in the representation of the horses, one in profile and the other from the rear, is evident, as is the exceptional technical mastery of the artist. This work, characterized by a significant history and refined elegance, is able to enrich any environment with taste and class. Its production is finally attributed to the end of the 19th century.
