Daily scene of servants, oil on canvas, 19th century
This highly theatrical painting depicts a group of servants in the kitchen, two women and two men gathered around a table.The group is highlighted by a halo of light; behind them on the wall we can make out hanging knives, to the left a teapot, on the floor a large pot and a basket of vegetables, and to the right we can make out a staircase leading up to the upper floors.The scene is very lively and dynamic: smiling women busy with their daily chores are at the heart of this depiction.The seated woman holds what appears to be a newspaper in one hand and points to the right with the other, inviting her companions and the viewer to follow suit.This depiction of the working class at the end of the 18th century expresses the ideas and revolutionary winds then blowing through France.An intriguing and daring painting, as much for its subject as for its technique, with touches of vivid color contrasting with a darker background and a lovely work of chiaroscuro.This rare work will add an original touch to your collection and a French touch to your home!
