Oil painting by Filippo Marantonio (1863-1937).  Portrait of an old Italian lady wearing a Headscarf.  Oil on canvas.  This oil  painting was likely made early in Marantonio's career, ca. 1890s.   Maratonio seemed to focus on painting portraits of low-income  people or peasants, giving his painting a rustic, human touch,  with an extreme attention to detail.  Presumably, he would have received relatively inexpensive commissions from relatively  low-income subjects, requiring him to produce a large volume of paintings. Approximately 6 by 8 inches. Classical realist style.        Photo made by making multiple high  resolution macro digital photos      with a Samsung A71 cell phone and stitching  them together using      Microsoft Image Composite Editor.
