Description from the seller
Jacques (Jaak) Doré (1861–1929) – Old Man Raising a Glass by the Window
Raffinata scena d’interno del pittore belga Jacques (Jaak) Doré, nato ad Anversa nel 1861 e morto nel 1929.
The work depicts an elderly man seated beside a window while raising a glass toward the light. The scene is constructed according to the tradition of Flemish and Dutch genre painting, with special attention to the luminous effects of the domestic interior and the objects of daily life.
On the table are visible a plant and a bottle; in the background there are furnishings, ceramics, bottles and a hat hanging on the wall, elements that contribute to the intimate atmosphere of the composition.
Doré studied painting at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Antwerp and participated in the Brussels Salon as early as 1884. His production includes portraits, interiors, genre scenes and landscapes, with a progressive focus on luminous effects.
