Pair Of Oil On Canvas Of A Student Of Joseph Vernet, 18th Century Period.

Pair of oil on canvas by a student of Joseph Vernet, 18th century period. This very pretty pair of landscapes painted on stretchers dates from the 18th century, probably originally forming door tops, these two "overmantels" offer a beautiful quality of painting, far from often too naive work, here the characters like the The architecture presents beautiful details, surely created by a student or follower of Joseph Vernet, we find landscapes of riversides or seaside with architectural monuments, animated first and then second plan of fisherman and washerwoman. We note a great similarity between the clothing of the fishermen present in this pair of paintings and what we can find in the works of Joseph Vernet and particularly the fisherman with the white-blue striped pants that we find in the painting of Joseph Vernet titled “the fisherman”, offered by the Thierry de Maigret auction house on December 7, 2012 under lot number 63. The two paintings are in very good condition, original canvas and frame. They are in Louis XVI style frames with 19th century gilded wood sticks mounted with a key, these frames show wear and losses mainly on the border. Dimensions: At sight: 83 x 52 cm In the frame: 94 x 64 cm
