Ancient nude female painting signed Laudati, oil on canvas, French school 20th century.

Superb old painting depicting a reclining female nude, treated in a rich and expressive pictorial material, with a beautiful thickness of paint and very interesting light work. The artwork is signed at the bottom right "Laudati" and has a label on the back from a Parisian studio: Atelier d’Art A. Laudati, Paris 15th, confirming it was produced by an artist or studio active in the 20th century.
