19th-century Oil On Canvas, Signed "estelle" And Dated 1880, After *les Sabots* By François Boucher

This antique oil on canvas, signed “Estelle” and dated 1880, is a truly beautiful piece from the late 19th century.

Presented in a gilded oval frame, it elegantly reinterprets the theme of *Les Sabots*, an original work painted by François Boucher in 1768, now housed at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto.

The oval-shaped painting captures a pastoral and poetic scene, typical of Boucher’s Rococo style.

The figures, dressed in period costumes, move through a lush green landscape, where every detail—the folds of the clothing, the play of light on the leaves, the facial expressions—bears witness to exceptional artistic skill.

Although signed by Estelle, the work faithfully draws inspiration from the composition and spirit of Boucher, the undisputed master of 18th-century galant and mythological painting.

The gilded wooden frame, measuring 76 cm high and 66 cm wide, adds a touch of refinement to the piece.

Although a few discreet retouches are visible, they in no way detract from the beauty of the canvas, which has not suffered any major damage.

However, the gilding on the frame will require some restoration work to restore it to its original luster.

This piece, both historic and aesthetically pleasing, will be a major asset for lovers of classical art.

It combines the charm of period reproductions with the prestige of an exceptional frame, perfect for enhancing an elegant interior
