The style of painting looks to be early 1900s, definitely modern. The clothing style looks to be a blend of German and Italian. The hat is German in style. The hair would be in a caul with this type of hat. The camicia/hemd style is seen both in Germany and Northern Italy in the early Ren. The gown looks N. Italian but it could pass for German. The sleeves look more German then NI. because of the cuff being longer. The outfit might be based off of a painting of someone from the border region of Italy and German. The Illuminated music looks close to Germanic style then Italian but my knowledge in that area is limit to what I have seen when looking for an easy style to recreate.
The more I review my Italian paintings the more the gown appears to be more northern Europe in style. De My two cents. -----Original Message----- Has anybody ever seen this before? http://images.cheezburger.com/imagestore/2010/9/9/330d9013-0b7f-468b-9c3a-b2 2044bb4e02.jpg It seems to me it's clearly a Victorian or later representation of a Renaissance style, either Italian or German. But I've never seen it before and have no idea where it came from. Can anyone help?
