Antique Painting "young Girl With A Dog", Borys Gladchenko

An antique painting depicts a scene with a child and a dog in an armchair. The girl's red dress, adorned with vibrant patterns, contrasts with the dog's black fur. The child's gaze is turned to the side. Soft lighting emphasizes the intimate atmosphere of the scene. The canvas is executed with broad brushstrokes. The artist paid particular attention to textures: the dog's fur, the fabric of the clothing, the armchair—the materiality is rendered with great skill. On the back of the canvas is the artist's signature, bearing his name and the title of the work. He is the Russian artist Boris Nikolayevich Gradchenko (1929-2005). The original frame is gilded and decorated with rocaille carvings. The gilding, slightly patinated, blends harmoniously with the canvas's color palette, thus highlighting the painting's expressiveness. Dimensions: frame 68 x 92 cm, canvas 50 x 73 cm
