Description from the seller
French 19th Century School – The Sewing Lesson – Mother and Daughter
Jean-Baptiste Greuze Circle
Charming genre scene depicting a mother guiding a young girl in the art of sewing. In the warm intimacy of a room with a fireplace, the two figures are gathered around thread and fabric, sharing a moment of complicity and transmission.
The softness of the expressions, the richness of the textiles, and the harmony of warm tones lend this composition a particularly delicate charm, characteristic of scenes of daily life appreciated in the 19th century.
Beautiful antique work, decorative and full of sensitivity.
Oil on canvas, exceptional quality: 67x52 cm.
The work is in very good condition; oil on canvas has been re-lined, with some typical craquelures to note.
Certificate of authenticity will be provided to the buyer.
Easy delivery to China and Taiwan with minimal customs fees or none. We have an office in Shanghai.
*Images shown in interiors are for illustration purposes. The apparent dimensions and proportions of the work may differ from its actual size.
