We are pleased to present this oil painting on cardboard. The painting is unsigned, and the artist has not been identified. It dates 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 paints, is intent on painting an oval canvas with an elegant gold frame. Behind her, an elderly cardinal stands out in his typical red clerical robes, attentively observing 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 coffee table on the left, which serves 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 scene from a bygone era, 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 beautiful 20th-century carved and gilded wooden frame.
