A FINE LARGE 19TH CENTURY ITALIAN FLORENTINE MARBLE PIETRA DURA INLAID PANEL depicting a female gypsy hanging out a sheet upon a clothes line, within a typical Mediterranean street scene. 36 cm x 27 cm. Note: These type of panels first appeared in Rome in the 16th century, reaching its full maturity in Florence. Pietra dura items are generally crafted on green, white or black marble base stones. Typically, the resulting panel is completely flat, but some examples where the image is in low relief were made, taking the work more into the area of hardstone carving.
