Splendid French painting from the eighteenth century. Oil work on canvas depicting a scene of great charm, the painter's atelier. Picture signed at the bottom right by the famous Charles-André Van Loo (1705-1765). Born in a family of painters of Dutch origin also worked in Turin for the Savoy and in Rome where he studied in the school of Benedetto Luti. In Paris he was then appointed official painter of the court of Louis XV. (The painting is not currently accompanied by Expertise, but it is possible to request it upon payment of the related additional costs). The composition represents a refined interior scene set in an atelier. The artist portrays himself as he realizes a portrait and several characters are arranged around him. In a light and elegant atmosphere, the richness of the costumes and the preciousness of the tissues that clearly refer to the French Rococo taste of the period stand out. Cake of the 20th century in carved, lacquered and golden wood, with some signs of time. Work already restored with Rintelo, replacement of the frame and color recovery in small points. Overall in good conservative state. Painted light H 120.5 x L 151.5 cm.
