Luigi Maria Galea (1847-1917)
pair of oils on board,
Views of Valetta Harbour, Malta,
signed,
5.75 x 13.25in.
Estimate £2,000-3,000
Oils on board in good untouched condition, paint very dirty and certainly both need a good clean, a few very tiny paint flakes missing on one just in the lower left corner below the signature, on the other a few small specks in the tower on the left and the sky at 12 and towards the right (infact a fair number of very tiny paint flakes missing from this image). Both signed, one lower left, one lower right, in old faded gilt gesso frames which are now looking rather tatty, no labels or inscriptions verso. Should restore to extremely good effect.
Comes for sale from a private collection.
