a beautiful and remarkable genre scene as the monks at the threshold of the convent receive their supplies carried by a herd of donkeys, one of which rears up and refuses to move forward, pulled by the rope of a monk who grimaces as he tries to reason with it, This work, entirely in the Romantic spirit of the 1840s, is remarkable for its vitality, and the comical scene adds spice to this fine oil on wood, with many of the convent's residents delighted to see the long-awaited arrival of the monk. A fine and very charming scene in good condition on a healthy walnut panel presented in a generous molded frame in bright gold gilded wood. This elongated painting is luminous and of real decorative interest, with beautiful expressions and a highly successful composition. In short, a beautiful painting.
