Oil on canvas
Natoire School
38/45 cm with frame
A child riding a dolphin in a fountain.
Typical painting technique of the 18th century.
The color of the child as well as that of the dolphin contrasts with the dark background and gives the painting a beautiful chiaroscuro.
The scene is very sweet, touching, and if I may say refreshing in these gloomy times and disconnects us from the present by offering us a moment of serinity.
