Oil On Canvas, Gender Scene With Characters By Sébastien Dulac

This ravishing oil on canvas, presents a pitoresque and funny scene, like a vaudeville. 
In the center, a shy young woman, at her side her husband surely, arguing with her, indeed in the background, a man jumps out of the window, her lover perhaps. 

Sébastien Dulac (1802-1851) is a French painter, specialized in genre scenes and portraits. 
He appeared at the Paris Salon from 1824 to 1851. 
"His small genre paintings often show popular Italian scenes are very picturesque and colorful."
He has a true sense of detail and a rather theatrical staging. 
 Some of his scenes remind us of Dutch painting.
