Not much information was to find in art reference books or on the Web about the author of this female portrait, Michele Micheli whose signature (with date 1845) we find in lower left area.
What we found on Web is following:
Michele Micheli was a 1st half of 19th century Florentine painter who was especially known (see our images nr.11-12) as imitator (sometimes also faker) of works of Raphael, Perugino, Lorenzo di Credi etc. He died in Florence in 1848 (probably he is ident with Michele Micheli who was born in 1789 in Triest and died on 22nd January 1847 - see our image nr.13). It seems he was quasí "Van Meegeren" (CLICK HERE) of 19th century.
Nevertheless our painting seems to be neither copy after Old Master, nor a fake - artist signed with his own name! Probably it was a wish of his sitter, an anonymous noblewoman (German visiting Florence?) to be depicted in "Renaissance"-look.
Provenance: auction house "Galerie Bassenge", Berlin, 29 November 2018, Lot 6095 (see our image nr.14)
