Description

A charismatic study depicting a peasant father and child in a rural landscape. The artist captures the figures in a soft manner with a focus on light, showing influence from Barbizon and pre-Raphaelite contemporaries of the time. At the girl's feet is a small dog symbolising patience and loyalty. Paying close attention to the figures' clothing and faces, the artist displays an expert hand in portraying expression and lifelike details. Titled 'Donnez Moi Un Sou!' translating to 'Give me a penny!' in English. Signed and dated to the lower left. Presented in a wooden frame with a gilt inner window. Inscribed with title verso. On canvas.

Condition

The painting has undergone some minor surface restoration. There is craquelure throughout the surface. Some surface marks and minor dents to the canvas surface. There is some wear to the frame, particularly to the edges and the inner window.
