Figure 1.-- Ettore Roesler Franz was an important Italian painter. He was born, lived, worked and died in Rome, although his grandfather came from Germany. He painted many watercolors representing the places and the people of Rome. He had his inspiration from the everyday life. To prepare his pictures, he took also some photos of street scenes and some studio portrait of simple people of Rome. Here we have a little sellers of matches having his portrait painted (figure 1).
