Object description :

"Portrait Of A Young Chimney Sweeper. Epoque Late Nineteenth."

Presumed portrait of a young Savoyard chimney sweeper. At that time, many poor families of Savoy sent their children to France to go and sweep the chimneys in the cities. The little chimney sweep has become the cheerful and mischievous emblem of this region. It is also said to be a lucky charm. Pretty painting in excellent condition in a beautiful frame. The dimensions are given for the work without its frame.
