Beautiful oil on wood panel dating from the 1940s and depicting an interior scene: two children doing their school homework in the kitchen near the wood stove. It is signed lower right "B de Champeaux" for Bertrand Edouard de Champeaux. The technique on this painting is magnificent: the interior of this kitchen is very dark and yet we have the impression of entering it and participating in this scene! We can make out a little boy and his sister doing their school homework. The interior of the kitchen is typical of this period: a large pot is heating on a wood stove, a cloth is drying above it, jars and a bottle of red wine are placed a little higher. The little boy is particularly well drawn: he seems very concentrated on his work. The little girl is done in a more succinct manner, which gives her a slightly dreamy and distracted air. It is an extremely touching scene of life. A true rural scene from the first half of the 20th century! On the back of the panel, an inscription: "the kitchen in Villemomble during the war" then "1941-42?". This painting is in its original condition, please note: the top left corner is split by 3 cm, the panel is not cut very straight. Wear and signs of age. Please look carefully at the photos, they are part of the product description! Keep in mind that this is an old painting, its traces of time and imperfections make it a unique piece with a story! Dimensions: 65 cm high / 55 cm wide. Weight without packaging: 1.780 kg. This scene of life will be magnificent in a living room or office!
