Large full-length portrait of a child in Greek-style clothing, a linen dress and antique sandals. He is holding flowers in his hand, and at his feet is a basket of fruit. This is an allegory of Flora or Ceres, representing the return to abundance under Napoleon Bonaparte's Consulate. The painting is signed by Joseph Rosie and dated 1801. The painting, oil on canvas, is presented in a handsome Empire-style frame in wood gilded with gold leaf.
A fine large-format painting, the work of a fine painter. The composition is careful, and the blue-eyed child is handsome.
The painting is in very good condition, cleaned and lined. The gilded wooden frame has been cleaned by our gilder.
