"Part Of Colin Maillard Within Ancient Ruins XVIII"
Colonnades and a background of ancient ruins overgrown with grass are used here as a backdrop for these four young characters, practicing the game of Colin Maillard. The artist materializes in an atmosphere characteristic of ruins, symbol of a fallen greatness and vanities, the apparent carelessness of a game in which insecurity and risk rub shoulders with love and gallantry. Oil on canvas 18th century Good condition. The work has been relined. Modernly made, weathered wooden frame.
