ANTIQUE 19TH C OIL ON COPPER PAINTING AFTER MURILLO - This fine 19th-century oil painting on copper is a high-quality devotional work after the original masterpiece The Little Fruit Seller by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. The composition skillfully captures the charming genre scene of two young children counting coins, surrounded by lush baskets of grapes and lemons. Executed with delicate brushwork characteristic of the period, the use of a copper substrate provides a smooth, luminous surface that enhances the vibrant reds and warm skin tones. The work is housed in a simple, classically styled gilt wood frame.
