About the Item
Add charm and character to your interior with this expressive antique French oil painting. Created circa 1880, the scene depicts an elderly monk playing a violin, seated with a sheet of music resting on a stand before him. His serene expression, flowing robes, and delicate hand gestures convey a sense of devotion and peaceful solitude, making this a touching example of genre painting from the period.
Executed on canvas, the work is housed in its original giltwood frame with molded edges and foliate corner details. The surface shows light craquelure and minor signs of age consistent with its 19th-century origin. The canvas remains taut on its original stretcher, and the back retains an old patina with an added hanging wire for display.
Measuring 21.75 inches wide by 25 inches high and 2 inches deep, this antique painting is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use. A wonderful decorative piece for a study, music room, or traditional European-inspired space.
