The composition, constructed with great balance, is distinguished by the grace of the female figures, the delicacy of the faces, and the softness of the draperies.

this painting can be traced back to the late neoclassical german painting style of the second half of the 19th century. A beautifully decorated painting, ideal for refined, classic, and contemporary settings. A 20th-century frame in carved and gilded wood shows some signs of aging. The painting has already been restored with the canvas applied to a panel and repainting in some areas, but is in overall good condition. Internal dimensions: h 102.5 x w 68 cm. See less
