The attribution to Achille Deveria makes sense because of the style and as he was a major figure of the Troubadour style painting. As in this charming painting, artists of the time wanted to evocate the dayly life of middle ages and Renaissance era, in a very idealized way of course.
This cultural movement was also present in music and litterature, with for example the famous Notre Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo.
The artist evocates here Italy and Florence, the building in the background is clearly inspired by the Palazzo Vecchio.
