In A Roman Osteria

This new puzzle is based on the "In a Roman Osteria" painting by the Danish painter Carl Bloch. This painting was inspired by a similar painting by his teacher, Wilhelm Marstrand (1810-1873); specifically his beautiful "Italian Osteria Scene" from 1848. The painting was commissioned by the merchant Moritz G. Melchior and it was painted in 1866. Moritz is included in the background of the painting. The man in the white shirt looking around at the viewer is Bloch himself. Mouse Interact
