About this Item

An exquisite example of the work of French genre scene painter, Alexandre Soldà (1822â "1893). The scene shows two ladies of society, dressed in elegant attire of the late 18th Century. They are strolling past a ramshackle, cottage with their dog. An old woman peers outer of her window, surprised to see such elegant women, wandering in such a rural setting. One woman holds a dainty parasol, the other appears to be checking their directions on a map. The painting has the beautiful Romanticism of early 19th Century French painters, harking back to a time of opulent luxury of the 18th Century. The softly falling light casts dappled shadows on the scene and picks outer the taffeta and other rich fabrics of the women's clothes in crisp, vibrant detail. The artist has signed to the lower left corner and the painting has been presented in a fine 19th Century frame with piastre strap work at the outer edge, fluted cove with acanthus leaf motifs at the inner corners and beaded strap work at the inner window. On re-lined canvas. Size: Medium (15-30cm) Framed: Yes. Seller Inventory # rn169
