Bartolomeo Pinelli Il Frigitore Rome Italy Antique 16x13 Etching Italy 1809
An original antique etching by Bartolomeo Pinelli (1781–1835) titled "Il Frigitore – Costume di Roma" (The Fry Cook – Costume of Rome), published in Rome in 1809. The plate bears the inscription "Pinelli 1809 Roma" in the lower left and forms part of Pinelli's celebrated Costumi di Roma series, documenting the occupations, customs, and daily life of early 19th-century Romans.
This lively street scene portrays a Roman food vendor serving customers beneath a canopy while family members prepare fried foods nearby. Rich in social detail and executed with Pinelli's characteristic energetic linework, the composition is an excellent example of Neoclassical genre art with early Romantic influences. The print is professionally matted and displayed in a stained hardwood frame under glass, making it ready for immediate display.
