"Oil On Panel, Departure For The Festival, Early 19th Century"
This painting depicts a lively and picturesque scene of people setting off for a festival, probably in the late 18th or early 19thcentury.
In the center, a cart pulled by a white horse carries a group of cheerful villagers: men and women dressed in traditional costumes, some playing music, others greeting each other or smiling.
Around the cart is a campsite: on the left, tents with colorful flags, children sitting on the ground, women chatting, and dogs mingling with the scene.
The painter pays great attention to detail: the texture of the fabrics, the expressive attitudes of the characters, and the naturalness of the animals.
