Bandits kidnapping a woman 1834

"Bandits kidnapping a woman" is a watercolor by Bartolomeo Pinelli, created in 1834. This small-scale work depicts a group of bandits, one holding a stick, carrying a woman away. The scene is rendered in a lively, almost comical style, typical of Pinelli’s work, and reflects his fascination with the everyday life of the Roman people. The Italian title "Briganti che rapiscono una donna" translates to "Bandits who kidnap a woman."
