19th-century school, in the style of Jean-Antoine Watteau (1684-1721)
The Concert
Charming composition inspired by the poetic world of Watteau's fêtes galantes, depicting a group of young characters gathered around a musical scene.
In the foreground, a young woman in a light satin dress is seated, holding sheet music in her hands. Behind her stands an elegant female figure wearing a large hat. To the right, a young musician in shimmering costume tunes or plays a theorbo, while a child in the center of the composition observes the scene with vivacity. The whole is set against a clear sky, in a delicate, refined atmosphere, imbued with grace and lightness.
The subtle palette, dominated by pastel tones, as well as the softness of the modeling and the elegance of the attitudes, directly evoke the compositions of Jean-Antoine Watteau and the rococo spirit of the 18th century.
Presented in a beautiful 18th-century carved and gilded wood frame, which perfectly enhances the composition.
Oil on canvas.
