Oval Golden Frame And Its Beautiful Romantic Lithograph Louis Philippe "the Moment Of Prayer". 1840

Deliciously quaint this charming "curiosity" of Catholic Bougie customs, the moment of prayer, a fresh and gentle lithograph from 1840, presented "divinely" well in its Louis Philippe period oval frame engraved and frank and beautiful gilding represents a Mother and her three children in the corner of a room kneeling at the foot of a wall crucifix concentrated in the moment of prayer and contemplation, on the back a canopy from the last child's cradle and on the right a heavy hanging ; we see through clothing the privileged condition of the characters; an image full of meaning for people in search of spirituality, a triumphant image of the middle of the 19th century where the values of Catholic teaching were an essential element of life... A piece in very good condition, fresh in its beautiful setting, all preserved over time....
