Spanish School (1840s) - Mother Hen

- Oil on canvas. - Animal themes became very popular in 19th century Spain, initially as a metaphor for the comfort and warmth of home and bourgeois life, and gradually, as the century progressed, becoming complicated satires of the society of the time. This beautifully executed canvas does not go into detail, limiting itself to showing a tender scene of a hen with chicks. - Dimensions of the image without frame: 55 x 71 cm / 62 x 81 cm with a magnificent period frame. - It comes from a private collection of paintings in Madrid. - Good general condition. Minimal defects. - This painting constitutes a unique, original and irreplaceable work of art. - Galerie Montbaron includes a technical sheet drawn up by a qualified art historian with all its lots. This sheet is sent in digital format and on request.
