About This Item
c.1890.. A colour chromolithograph of Torrini's humorous painting, of monks reading an issue of "Punch" magazine. Torrini was known for his witty, informal genre paintings. The image is about 22 x 18 inches, in a narrow wooden frame measuring 24.5 x 20.75 inches. A few small chips, very good condition, small chips from frame edges. The original painting has appeared at auction several times, with a different title each time; thus the three titles above. [This is an oversize item, and normal postage rates do not apply. Large framed artworks are sometimes available for pickup only.]
