Pretty Italian School Painting Around 1840 In Its Frame "the Handshake" Oil On Canvas

Beautiful large canvas on its original stretcher like its generous gilded frame from the first half of the 19th century (Louis Philippe). “The Handshake”; a young traveler shakes hands with a venerable seated on a tree trunk in front of a pedestal surmounted by an obelisk, cane in hand. A large strap box placed on the path with a large rabbit sticking its head out while observing the scene. This pretty painting, not devoid of charm, is in very good condition (freshly cleaned) and constitutes with its generous gilded wooden frame a very pleasant, decorative whole with pretty tones for this charming scene, well painted, a little naive and detailed, which gives it a charm for a popular subject at that time Louis Philippe where the fashion for Neapolitan paintings was fashionable at that time in France
