A Young Woman Mourns a Dead Bird
Russian school, Unknown artist, the end of the XIXth century
60*48*2,5 oil on canvas, unframed
The offered work is a picture of an unknown artist (no signature), belonging to the Russian academic art school, which dates from the late 19th century.
The picture shows a young woman with a dead bird in her hand. This sentimental plot was widely used in paintings from the second half of the 18th century thanks to Jean- Baptiste Greuze, whose paintings on this subject were extremely popular and invariably caused an enthusiastic response among contemporaries. Widely known is the explanation of Denis Didro, the founder of the Encyclopedia, who with great emotion and enthusiasm describes Greuze's painting “A Girl Mourns a Dead Bird” (from the collection “Salon 1765”).
The popular tearful plot was popular with the public until the beginning of the 20th century.
The painting is a typical example of the European art of the late 19th century. The painting is in good condition, it comes from a Moscow private family collection.
In the upper left part traces of restoration work are noticeable.
