AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Technical Details: Oil on marouflaged canvas
Subject: Genre scene – artist's studio
Period: 19th century
Dimensions (without frame): 48 × 68 cm
Condition: Good overall condition, with wear consistent with age.
Old gold frame
Provenance: private collection.
Marouflaged oil on canvas, depicting an artistic genre scene set in the interior of a studio or bourgeois residence, typical of the second half of the 19th century.
The composition depicts a master artist, a mature male figure standing and adopting a benevolent authoritative attitude, seemingly commenting on or correcting the work of a young female artist seated. At their feet, a painting of a female portrait, placed on the floor, unmistakably confirms the workshop setting and the pedagogical nature of the scene.
In the background, a young woman observes the scene, enhancing the intimate and narrative atmosphere of the work. The decor — wooden furniture, wall clock, shelves, everyday objects — is carefully crafted and contributes to the realistic grounding of the composition.
The artist demonstrates a good mastery of drawing, expressions, and postures, which are essential elements of genre painting. The palette is dominated by warm and natural tones, with careful work on textures and drapery, evoking the tradition of the Flemish or Germanic schools of the 19th century.
The subject illustrates themes appreciated by collectors: the transmission of artistic knowledge, the master–student relationship, and the role of women in art practice.
The work is presented in an ancient frame, richly carved and gilded, in harmony with the period and strongly enhancing the overall presentation.
