We are pleased to present this oil painting on cardboard. The painting is not signed and the author has not been identified. It dates back to the 19th century.
The painting depicts a scene of everyday life and the interaction between an artist and a clergyman. The protagonists of the scene are a young woman and a cardinal. The woman on the left, holding a large palette of colors, is busy painting an oval canvas with an elegant golden frame. Behind her, an elderly cardinal, in his typical red clerical cassock, carefully observes the painting, suggesting his role as a teacher. The scene takes place in a closed space, enriched by some decorative details, such as the delightful Louis XV table on the left, which acts as a support for the painter's materials.
The pictorial quality is very good, a painting full of meticulously crafted details. The viewer will find himself immersed in this period scene, which depicts a teaching moment with great delicacy and sensitivity.
The painting, in excellent condition, will be a perfect addition to your collection. A painting that will enchant your guests!
The painting is presented in a stunning 20th century carved and gilded wooden frame.
