"Interior Galant Scene"
Signed: P. D’Orsei
Medium: Oil on canvas
Date: First half of the 19th century (Empire / Biedermeier style)
This refined painting depicts a romantic scene in an aristocratic interior: a young suitor in historical dress kneels gracefully before a lady, attended by two smiling women. The richness of the costumes, the elegance of the furnishings, and the symbolic details — musical score, flowers, feathered hat — create a romantic and theatrical atmosphere typical of early 19th-century sentimental historicism.
Signed P. D’Orsei, the work stands out for its refined execution, balanced composition, and the charm with which the scene is rendered.
