A charming interior scene in oil from the mid 19th Century, showing a pretty, blonde haired child kneeling before a painting of the Madonna and Child, hands clasped at her chest in prayer. The scene is far from solemn, despite the pious nature of the subject. The little girl has a warm complexion and a delicate half smile as she gazes in reverence at the Madonna.
The artist has rendered the interior with wonderful exactitude and detail, particularly in the parquet floor and the folds and tassels of the blue curtain. The artist has signed and dated to the lower right corner and the painting has been presented in a 20th Century gilt frame.
On canvas.The condition is very good for a picture of this age, including some age tone. There is some craquelure to the surface. Inspection under UV light reveals some surface restoration, mainly to the upper right corner.
