ATTRIBUTED TO PIERRE NARCISSE GUERIN (French, 1774-1833) THE RETURN OF MARCUS SEXTUS FROM EXILE. This unsigned oil on canvas is a half size version of “The Return of Marcus Sextus” by Pierre Narcisse Guerin acquired by the Louvre in 1830. The scene represents the return home of a Roman military leader, supposedly banished by the Dictator Sulla and now pardoned. Upon his return, he is stunned to find his wife dead and his daughter grieving. This was interpreted, in Guerin’s day as an allegory of the return of the emigres to France. It is this political interpretation which probably accounts for the extraordinary popularity of the painting. This painting appears to be possibly a compositional study for the life size painting in the Louvre. It reveals the entire composition but has many of the details missing. Included with the painting is a detailed explanation as to the attribution and the possibility that this painting is a final study for the Louvre’s’ painting rather than a replica. Housed in a magnificent antique gilt and carved wood frame. Attached to the frame is a printed card “W. Ellis, Carver and Gilder, 12 College Lane, Liverpool”. SIZE: 39-1/2″ x 47″.

STUDIO OF JEAN-BAPTISTE LEPRINCE (French, 18th Century) BATHING AT THE WELL. Rare reverse painted oil on glass scene depicts three nude and partially nude maidens bathing in an exterior setting. A figural water fountain with dolphin head and cherub cascades water into a small pool. The three women sit and lay next to the pool.
