Milcendeau Charles - "maraichinage" - Marais Vendéen - Soullans

MILCENDEAU Charles (1872-1919) Superb composition by Milcendeau around this Vendée custom of the marshes, market gardening, with its essential "tool" the umbrella. Umbrella serving as a veil in all seasons, to shelter budding loves. And the first kisses "with the tongue" as was customary. First emotions before other attempts, and... marriage if affinity. In this drawing, Milcendeau captures the moment when the reserved, even intimidated young woman is ready to take the big leap into the open air. Under the sole gaze, normally, of the cows. A work full of charm and subtlety for a tradition that could not be more local. Dimensions at sight 24 x 18 cm With frame 49 x 41 cm Very good condition of the drawing and well framed.
