Italian artist Arturo Ricci specialized in the genre scenes of aristocratic interiors, powdered wigs, and satiny coats that were set in the eighteenth century, a much simpler time in the minds of the middle classes of the artist’s time. Ricci’s “The Wait” charms across time, as the viewer can relate to the age-old themes of decorum and youthful romance. A Mixed-Media painting from Art Chateau.
