Description

'An Amusing Read', a delightful small oil on panel by Vincent Chevilliard (French, 1841-1904). Signed lower left.

The work depicts a clergyman in a summer garden laughing as he's caught unawares by a humorous line in his book. The detail throughout the work is truly exceptional with the expert depiction of light making the subject appear almost three dimensional on the gravel path against the backdrop of leaves and carefully depicted flowers.

Label for 'M. Newman Ltd, Fine Art Dealers of 43a Duke Street, London' verso. Illegible stamp to the board from which only 'Paris' and 'Lafitte' is legible, the beginning of the stamp being obscured by the later London Gallery label. Presumably the stamp is for a gallery situated on the historic street of Rue Laffitte, Paris.

A fantastic work.
