Interpol tracked the painting to the United States but lost the trail somewhere in New Jersey." "Francesco Beda (Trieste, 29 November 1840 – 30 July 1900) was a painter from Austria-Hungary, mainly depicted costume genre subjects. The "costume genre subjects" were popular with some buyers, and depicted individuals in anachronistic, often aristocratic garb of the prior centuries, often entertained in either gallantry or frivolous enjoyment." Francesco studied with Karl von Blaas in Vienna, but in addition to working in his native Trieste, he travelled and painted for patrons in Austria, Hungary, and Croatia. He painted portraits of the Empress Elisabeth of Austria, the Prince of Rolian, and Bishop Strossmayer of Zagreb. He also had an interest in Orientalist subjects as exemplified by Il Caffè Orientale di Trieste (c. 1888) Excellent Condition ~ Frame is solid and free of damage ~ Print does not show any damage or fading *If estimated shipping rate is quoted too high, please message me with your zip code or country for an exact rate 7 lbs pre packed weight
