COD 11460. Antique French painting from the first half of the 19th century. An oil on canvas artwork titled Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, of excellent pictorial quality. A painting of beautiful size and impact, richly adorned with a carved and gilded wooden frame. A painting with a pleasant depth, still vibrant in colour. On the left, we see urban architecture with a crowd observing the scene. A page is also present, accompanying a splendid white horse, likely a gift from the king to his guest. In the centre of the scene, the king is seated on his throne, with the young queen in sumptuous attire beside him. On the right, several figures from the court, also dressed ostentatiously, witness the meeting. A well-preserved work that has undergone conservative restoration, lining, replacement of the stretcher, and colour restoration in small areas. In good condition.
