Overview
FAMILIE DE ROMÂNI MACEDONENI is attributed to the Romanian painter Alexandru Phoebus and is dated approximately to 1850. The surviving material consists of the reverse side of a canvas, mounted in a simple wooden frame, which reveals the work’s age through its patina and surface wear.
Technique & Style
The back of the canvas is a light‑beige linen, bearing several faint marks, stains and faint handwritten annotations in the upper left corner that seem to indicate a title and a date, though the script is illegible. A small, barely readable label appears in the top‑right corner, adding to the object's documentary evidence.
History & Provenance
While the exact ownership history is unclear, the handwritten markings suggest the piece was catalogued or exhibited at some point, possibly in the early 20th century, as inferred from the style of the notes and the condition of the frame. Further research into Phoebus’s catalogue raisonné may clarify its trajectory.
