Large 18th-century Drawing, The Doll's Reading Lesson. France
A charming drawing in black and red chalk, depicting a little boy holding his daughter's hand, resting on an open book, and trying to teach her to read. The oval drawing is in good condition, with no tears, though cleaning would be beneficial. The child's expression is both mischievous and playful. He is dressed in typical Louis XV style. On the back is an excerpt from a memoir belonging to a descendant or friend of the family, mentioning the presence of this drawing in a place she cherished. A lovely scene from the daily life of a child from a well-to-do family in the 18th century.
