Interior Scene From The 19th Century, An Overwhelmed Dad

Oil on canvas from the 19th century, an overwhelmed father, signed.
beautiful finely executed oil on canvas representing a genre scene with an intimate setting "an overwhelmed father".
19th century canvas in its original gilded wood frame, the gilding needs to be revived.

We see a young father appearing overwhelmed and trying to concentrate on documents while one of his children harasses him and the second cries and fusses in his crib.
the scene takes place in a finely detailed interior with many details:
- the furnishings
- the finely worked wicker cradle, the sheets and blankets, the fabrics
- the broken pipe on the floor on the old worn carpet
- the table cluttered with documents and books
- the decoration, the hanging painting
- a door leading to another room where a woman stands in front of a fireplace
- the clothes

Do not hesitate to zoom in on the photos, because the details deserve to be seen up close !!!

the scene probably takes place in Holland but it looks like a scene from a book by Maupassant.

signed lower left, A.Hernandez.

a pretty ribbon frame in gilded wood and stucco, with slightly worn old gilding frames the scene.

a very pretty painting, very fine and very decorative which shows clearly that everything is immutable...

dimensions:
55 cm and 72 cm with the frame
65 cm and 82 cm high with the frame
