Old Table "The Reader" – Oil on Canvas – 18th Century Style

Description. The seller's word: A real favourite for this very beautiful oil on canvas from the mid-20th century, skillfully replicating the famous masterpiece by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, "The Reader". Much more than a simple reproduction, this is a quality handmade work where the artist's touch is evident: the brush strokes are lively, the texture is generous (beautiful impasto on the collar and the dress), and the colours remain vibrant. This "buttercup" yellow, typical of the Rococo style, will immediately add a touch of elegance and warmth to your interior. The spirit of the object: The painting has that authentic patina one seeks. It is presented in its original state, with some cracks and slight marks on the upper edge and the left side that testify to its history and give it a charming appeal. It will fit perfectly into a decor that mixes the old and the contemporary, on a dark wall or amidst a cabinet of curiosities. Technical details: Period: 1950s-1960s. Style: Classic / Rococo. Materials: Oil painting on canvas, wooden frame with keys. Dimensions: Height 56 cm|Width 44 cm. Condition: Used condition (old patina, small marks on the upper part and left side).
