Oil On Panel – "fire", French School, 19th Century

Oil on panel painting illustrating an allegorical scene around the fire, attributed to the pictorial tradition of the French school of the 19th century, in the style of German productions of the same period. The composition depicts a joyful round of putti, emblematic childlike figures of the neoclassical imagination, gathered around a blazing brazier. Each character is animated by a graceful gesture, holding sheaves, flowers or a basket, in a bucolic atmosphere imbued with softness. Delicate palette, fine lines and balanced staging reinforce the decorative character of this work full of tenderness and poetry. Technique: Oil on panel Period: 19th century School: French (inspired by German art)
