Romantic interior. European School. Early 20th century. - Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 43 x 30 cm; 56 x 44 cm. This romantic-inspired bourgeois interior depicts a gallant scene with three figures dressed in 18th-century style. The gentleman leans toward a seated lady while an old man looks on knowingly. The furniture, tapestries, suspended porcelain, and the effects of smoke and shadows create a dreamlike atmosphere, accentuated by the fantasy of the hovering angel. The brushwork is loose and luminous, framing a scene of theatrical seduction reminiscent of the revivalist taste of the early 20th century.
