Dutch school (XX) - Il battesimo - NO RESERVE

EXCEPTIONALLY WITHOUT RESERVATION

An attractive 20th-century oil on canvas painting depicting a lively genre scene set in the eighteenth century, inspired by French and English painting traditions.

The composition presents an elegant group of figures in period dress, characterized by rich draperies, hats, and refined accessories, captured in a moment of dialogue and movement.

The scene, animated by natural gazes and gestures, conveys a strong narrative and theatrical sense, evoking aristocratic and worldly atmospheres.

The rendering of fabrics and sartorial details is particularly meticulous, executed with great skill and tonal taste, giving depth and dynamism to the whole.

The warm and harmonious palette, combined with the solidity of the figurative construction, recalls academic and Romantic painting, making the work highly decorative and suitable for elegant spaces or collections of figurative art.
