Description
This charming oil on board painting captures a delightful 18th-century style genre scene. The composition depicts a gentleman in period attire engaging warmly in a lesson with a young boy holding a book, while two women, dressed in elegant gowns, observe with smiles. A faithful dog stands beside them, completing the idyllic tableau. The scene is set within an opulent interior, with intricate architectural details, polished tile flooring, and finely rendered furniture lending depth and sophistication to the composition. The artist masterfully conveys the rich textures of the characters' clothing, the luminous sheen of the tiled floor, and the warmth of the moment. The vibrant yet balanced color palette adds to the painting's timeless appeal. Artwork dimensions: 15.50"L x 11.50"H. Frame dimensions: 21.25"L x 17"H x 1.50"W.
