The following technical sheet of the work was created by Professor Sandro Bellesi as part of the inventory of the paintings of the Fattoria Franceschini. The work is part of a group of paintings dating back to the 1920s or 1930s and perhaps originally including other specimens, depicting allegorical images through human or divine personification, allusive, distinctly, to Poetry, Meditation, Force, all 'Abundance and War. Together with an artist currently not identifiable, the authors of these paintings are to be recognized in Giuseppe Moriani, Antonio Niccolò Pillori and perhaps Antonio Puglieschi, petits maîtres who came out of different schools active in Florence in the late Baroque age. The works, pleasant in their formulation and defined with discreet pictorial quality, are mostly typical products linked to the anti-academic Tuscan currents linked to the school of Giovan Camillo Sagrestani and his followers.
