French School (XIX) - Sortie du Bal Masqué - NO RESERVE
I present for auction for the first and only time this beautiful work of art made in oil on canvas by the French School from the late 19th century.
The work represents the departure of a masked ball where the Bourgeoisie of the late 19th century meets.
Overall dimensions: 72x94cm
Dimensions of the painting without frame: 47x70cm.
Masterpiece. Worthy of large private collections.
A high period painting dated approximately 1850.
The work is in an excellent general state of conservation.
Original fabric and frame.
-High quality frame included as a gift.
From our private collection.
It will be delivered in professional packaging, certified and insured to everyone. (Shipping costs are indicative, they will have to be discussed with the auction winner, according to their preferences.
ICONOGRAPHY OF THE WORK:
In this case, instead of insisting on the more anecdotal and decorative aspects that this argument encourages, the artist only allows us to glimpse with very subtle irony the frivolous reading of the scene, in the knight's invitation to his young companion, whom he turns into absolute protagonists of the composition by clearly cutting out their silhouettes in front of the portal of the room, curiously showing the man's face
However, the narrative interest of the sequence is largely submerged in the artist's interpretation of the nighttime atmosphere of the street, bathed in artificial light that highlights the different establishments and splendidly suggests their interiors, both the living room dance, as well as the wine tavern and the hotel, thus showing the fascination that Madrazo – like so many other artists of his time – had for the gas-lit nighttime environments of the Cité lumière.
