"Oil On Cardboard, Illegible Signature, 19th Century"
Painting depicting a genre scene in which a man in period costume, seated at a table under an arbour, exchanges a gesture with a young servant. The lighting highlights the depth of the composition and the textures of the clothing. The background outlines a wall with a barred window, while on the ground, an overturned basket lets fruit and flowers fall. The work is part of the tradition of 19th-century gallant scenes, influenced by 18th-century art. The whole is presented in a gold leaf frame.
