The 5” x 7” painting closely follows the composition of François-Alfred Delobbe’s celebrated Le Goûter Après le Bain, making it an attractive period interpretation of the French Academic master’s work.

Executed in oil on panel with delicate brushwork and a soft, natural palette, the painting exemplifies the sentimental genre scenes that were popular during the late 19th century. The work is unsigned and is offered as a hand-painted period painting after Delobbe rather than as an original work by the artist.

The richly ornamented gilt composition frame is believed to be period and complements the painting beautifully. The frame shows age-appropriate wear, including scattered rubbing and minor losses to the gilt finish, consistent with its age. The painting itself presents well.

A charming antique decorative work that would complement French Country, Victorian, Traditional, or European-inspired interiors. See less
