Further details
LOUIS-LÉOPOLD BOILLY, TWO CHILDREN, ONE HOLDING A BASKET WITH FLOWERS, BLACK AND WHITE CHALK ON PREVIOUSLY BLUE PAPER
These two children can be compared with a painting by Louis-Léopold Boilly, painter of portraits and genre scenes illustrating Parisian life at the end of the French Revolution, which depicts Two children playing with a goat, in the collections of His Majesty the King of Sweden (E. Breton, P. Zuber, Louis-Léopold Boilly 1761-1845. Le peintre de la société parisienne de Louis XVI à Louis-Philippe, Paris, II, 2019, no. 701 P bis, ill). The young girl wears the same turban in her hair and the younger of the two children is clothed in the same way.
We would like to thank Etienne Breton and Pascal Zuber for confirming the attribution after a photographic examination of the work.
