Serangeli, Sleeping Venus

At Sigalas, a German auctionhouse, they sell as lot 345 an "Italian school, early 19th century" "Lying Venus and Amor", estimated at 2,500 Euro.

It is a copy of or variation on the "Sleeping Venus" by Giacchino Giuseppe Serangeli, a French-Italian painter of the early 19th century. Looking at the difference in style, with the one for sale much more linear and less pictorial, it probably is a copy, but it is a good one and worth further attention. Estimate seems correct for what it is.
