Large 18th Century Style Painting

This large 20th-century painting, done in the 18th-century style, presents a charming and classical scene that recalls the elegance of aristocratic painting of the Ancien Régime. The work depicts a young child dressed in a sumptuous red patterned dress, in a lush garden. Crowned with flowers, the little girl adopts a graceful posture, holding a branch of foliage in one hand, while a colorful parrot stands nearby on a stone plinth. At her feet, a small black and white dog adds a touch of softness to the scene. The background of the painting reveals a French garden landscape, with majestic trees and distant figures moving near a stone bridge, reinforcing the bucolic and refined atmosphere of the work. The richly ornamented gilded frame perfectly frames this composition, reminiscent of the works of master portrait painters of the 18th century. This piece, although made in the 20th century, draws heavily on the Baroque and Rococo styles, capturing the lightness and finesse characteristic of the period. The painting is in very good condition, with vibrant colours and an excellently preserved frame. It would make an ideal addition for any collector or lover of classical art, wishing to acquire a work inspired by the past while being accessible to contemporary sensibilities.
