Description: CHARMING OLD 18TH CENTURY FINE ANTIQUE CHILD IMPRESSIONIST OIL PAINTING ON CANVAS. (CIRCA 1750s). THIS WORK DEPICTS TWO ADORABLE YOUNG GIRLS POSING IN AN ATMOSPHERIC GARDEN-STYLE SETTING. THOUGH IMPRESSIONISTIC IN EXECUTION, THE SCENE HINTS AT CLASSICAL INFLUENCES. THE GIRLS ARE WEARING LONG FLOWING GOWNS IN SOFT, DELICATE CREAM PASTELS WITH THEIR ARMS TENDERLY AROUND EACH OTHER. THE GARDEN AROUND THEM IS DREAMLIKE WITH AN ETHEREAL, ALMOST MISTY QUALITY. THOUGH THE DETAILS OF THEIR FACES ARE HINTED AT RATHER THAN FULLY ARTICULATED, THEIR EXPRESSIONS ARE SERENE, CONVEYING A QUIET INTIMATE BOND. THIS IS A WARM AND LOVELY OLD PAINTING DATING BACK TO THE LATE 1700s. IT HAS A FADED, ILLEGIBLE SIGNATURE IN THE LOWER RIGHTHAND CORNER. PERHAPS YOU RECOGNIZE THE ARTIST? WE BELIEVE THE ARTIST IS FROM EUROPE, JUDGING BY THE OLD EUROPEAN STRETCHER BAR. EXCELLENT OVERALL CONDITION, CONSIDERING ITS OVER 200 YEARS OLD. MILD WEAR AS SHOWN. DIMENSIONS INCLUDING THE FEAME: 49” H x 40” W DIMENSIONS WITHOUT THE FRAME: 45” H x 35” W PROVENANCE: PRIVATE COLLECTION, BEVERLY HILLS CALIFORNIA.
