19th Century French Priest Oil Painting in Carved Giltwood Frame Signed M. Valle
About the Item
The antique painting titled "L'Eveque a la Lecture" (the bishop reading), was created in France, circa 1890. The canvas signed in the lower right corner by French artist, M. Valle, captures a charming and intimate scene of two clergymen, one seated and the other standing, sharing a lighthearted moment. The seated cardinal, clad in an ornate red robe, holds a cup while his companion, dressed in darker clerical attire, leans in as if sharing a humorous remark or advice. The setting is an opulent interior, featuring a richly decorated room with a gilded mirror, a glowing fireplace, and an elegant rug, all elements contributing to the refined and cozy atmosphere. The painter demonstrates a keen eye for detail and an ability to portray human expressions with warmth and subtlety. Valle’s style reflects an affinity for genre painting, which emphasizes everyday scenes with narrative depth, popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The painting is complemented by a magnificent Rococo-inspired frame, adorned with intricate floral carvings and scroll work, enhancing its visual impact and elegance. The painting is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and adorns rich colors throughout and wonderful carvings in the ornate, high-relief frame.

19th Century French Oil on Canvas Family Priest Portraits Painting in Gilt Frame
Located in Dallas, TX
Decorate a study or office with this elegant antique oil painting. Painted in France and dated 1862, the canvas is set in an important carved giltwood frame. The subject matter depicts five portraits of a priest family titled "Les Quatres Freres et un Neveu" ( the four brothers and a nephew ).
