This atmospheric painting depicts a rustic interior scene, with figures gathered around a large fireplace that dominates the composition. The artist skilfully uses light and shadow to create depth and focus attention on the central group, while details like chickens in the foreground and household items on shelves add rich texture to the humble domestic setting. Signed to the lower right. Inscribed to the stretchers verso. For restoration: please see condition report for full details. On canvas on stretchers.
