signed Federico Andreotti on the bottom right.

Andreotti was a painter and sculptor among the major exponents of the Italian artistic panorama between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century . He attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence where he trained with Enrico Pollastrini and Stefano Ussi, with whom he adhered to romantic painting with numerous historical references. However, he soon abandoned this genre to devote himself to portraiture and genre scenes in contexts of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. An impressionist trait almost seems to emerge in his works in the drafting of the brushstrokes. Authentication on photo by Aurora Arte (Casamassima BA)
