For Sale by Regent Antiques
Description

It is the study of a young female water carrier standing pensively in the street,  housed in the beautiful original glazed giltwood frame.

The colours are incredibly vibrant for its age.

Filipo Indoni's works are very collectable can be seen being sold at major auction houses like Bonhams or Christie's.

In excellent condition and ready to hang on your wall.

Dimensions in cm:

Height 76 cm x Width 58 cm x Depth 7 cm

Dimensions in inches:

Height 2 foot, 6 inches x Width 1 foot, 11 inches x Depth 3 inches

Filipo Indoni ( 1842 -1908) was a Roman born artist who painted in the Realist style. He often created lively scenes of peasants and lower class people playing, laughing and generally being carefree. Indoni made these formerly forgotten people in the art world shine, while his fellow artists were portraying them in darker themes.

Indoni was particularly talented with watercolours, and painted a number of scenes of peasants and country people in watercolor.

 

Unlike many other artists who portray peasants and workers, Indoni’s subjects are generally happy and jubilant. This is because Indoni’s goal was to portray them as being people that are proud of their hard work, as opposed to being downtrodden, and was Indoni’s response to the idealistic, but unrealistic styling of formerly popular Romanticism.

 

Indoni’s signature style of warm amber light, festive activities and idealistic country scenes are one of many ways to pinpoint whether a painting was created by him or not. However, another telltale sign is his beautiful scripted signature “F. Indoni” which often appeared on the front of his canvases.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Nineteenth-century Italian genre paintings typically depicted scenes of everyday folk life, rural figures, and local customs. Artists used transparent washes and detailed draftsmanship to capture regional attire and traditional culture for private collectors and international tourists.

These works were executed using water-soluble gum-arabic pigments on heavy rag paper. Frames from the era were predominantly carved wood or composition moulding finished with water gilding or oil-gilded gold leaf.

Authenticity is verified by examining artist signatures, period-appropriate paper age and foxing, visible brushwork under magnification, and original framing techniques such as wood backing boards and hand-cut glass.

A framed antique watercolour can be hung above a sideboard, layered within a gallery wall, or styled alongside modern accent pieces to provide contrast and depth in contemporary living spaces.

Watercolours must be displayed away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent fading and foxing. Ensure the artwork is mounted using acid-free archival materials and protected behind UV-filtering glass.
