Mandolin 1900

"Mandolin" (1900) by Angelo Mannello (1858-1922) is an intricately detailed depiction of a mandolin, showcasing the instrument's elegant curves and elaborate ornamentation. The wood of the mandolin is rendered in warm tones, while the metal accents and intricate floral patterns on the neck and body are highlighted in silver and black. Currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this work is a fine example of Mannello's masterful skill in rendering realistic, meticulously crafted still life subjects.
