About the Item

Work on canvas cardboard Black wooden frame 31 x 41 x 3.5 cm The work represented here is a painting that stands out in the naive movement. It is refined and evocative, depicting a wedding couple seated with dignity and calm on the edge of a well-ordered bed. The scene gives off an atmosphere that is both solemn and poetic which challenges the observer with its simplicity and depth. In the foreground, the bride and groom are dressed in the traditional way. The bride, resplendent in her immaculate white dress and delicately placed veil, gracefully holds a bouquet of blue flowers. His serene expression reinforces the impression of purity and innocence. Next to her, the groom, in his dark suit, sports a neat mustache and a calm attitude, symbolizing solidity and stability. The background of the painting is just as significant. The richly textured green wall is adorned with a muted floral pattern, adding a touch of vintage to the overall look. Two lamps with identical shades, symmetrically placed on the bedside tables on either side of the bed, diffuse a soft and warm light, creating an intimate and romantic atmosphere. The bed, symbol of the couple's union and future life together, is impeccably made and becomes the center of this harmonious composition. A painting hanging on the wall brings an additional dimension to the scene. It depicts an imposing elk in a snowy landscape, a symbol of strength and majesty, perhaps a nod to the qualities that the couple intends to embody in their union. The red carpet adorning the floor with detailed designs adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the room. This artistic work is distinguished by its perfect balance of tradition and intimacy, its thoughtful composition and its minute details that captivate the eye and tell, in a quiet but eloquent way, the story of a union full of promise and depth.
