Chariot

Chariot  is a wonderful original watercolor on paper, realized in the XIX century by an anonymous artist whose signature seems to be  Melifen ( hand-written in pencil on the lower right corner).

The drawing is glued on a brown paper (22.5 x 28.5 cm). The latter shows tears at the edges.

The artwork is in good conditions except for the wavy paper, foxing, and little tears.

Original title on the lower center:  Barrozza Costumi di Roma .

The scene represents the  barrozza , an animal-drawn chariot characteristic of the Roman countryside of the XIX century. The oxen that pulls it carries an effigy with the Virgin Mary.
