About the Item
A large, life-sized portrait of two lovely women perusing a newspaper called the "Journal Amusante." The painting has a soft, peaceful quality that will set a serene mood in any room in which it is displayed. By Belgian painter Alexis Nys, and probably painted there. The painting has extensive craquelure (thin, spidery cracks) in parts, which is not uncommon for a painting of this age - but as it will most likely be viewed from at least a little distance due to its size, this is less noticeable. Framed, 48.75" x 44.25"; canvas only 45.25" x 40.5". Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art, New Orleans.
