AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This painting is a feast to behold: something is happening everywhere. People are singing, making music, and toasting, making the canvas burst with life. The work was created by David Bles (1821–1899), an exceptionally talented Hague painter who was allowed to attend the drawing academy at the age of thirteen. He was trained by renowned masters and developed into a celebrated creator of refined genre scenes with an 18th-century atmosphere. Bles’s eye for detail and his lively storytelling earned him great appreciation and prestigious commissions in his time.
The work is in an exclusive list made by Gehring and finished with gold leaf.
Provenance:
From a private collection
Viewing is, of course, possible. Additionally, we have our own in-house framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary. Furthermore, we collaborate with restorers from the professional organization: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you wish to make use of this service, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
