Superb painting featuring 2 children playing the flutes at the end of the 19th century.
This oil on panel is signed C.C. Cox.
This painting is beautifully framed by a pretty gold frame.
The painter was inspired by a lithograph by Pierre Edouard Freres to create his work.
Pierre-Édouard Frère born January 10, 1819 in Paris and died May 23, 1886 in Écouen was a French painter, engraver and lithographer.
He specializes in genre scenes of daily life representing children from rural areas, which were very popular especially in Anglo-Saxon countries. The founding of the Écouen painters' colony is attributed to him.
He debuted at the Salon of 1843, and quickly gained a great reputation in genre painting. A prolific artist, most of his compositions were popularized by lithography and wood engraving, which he practiced himself. He became known to the general public through his engravings of children and the interiors of modest people, with a form of sincerity, since he was one of the first of his century to explore this theme, far from Paris. In 1847, he settled in Écouen.
Very beautiful staging with these 2 children in a rustic scene from the end of the 19th century.
This painting dates from the end of the 19th, beginning of the 20th.
