Small Old Painting Oil Deer Doe Barbizon School XIXth Century Gilded Frame

  
Hello, I am selling this painting measuring 44 cm in height by 36 cm in width including the frame. It is a superb oil on canvas, undoubtedly from the 19th century, possibly the work of a French painter, representing a sunset under which two does and a stag, almost entirely enveloped in darkness, are standing at the edge of a river with the probable intention of drinking. Darkness contrasting with the sublime pink-orange tones in the sky, the reflections of the water, crossed here and there by peaceful movements, that the surrounding vegetation, dominated by a vigorous-looking tree, embraces to give itself a soft light. The painting, despite a few small chips here and there, some superficial paint losses, one of which, luckily, looks like a ripple on the water! , a probable ancient restoration at the back, highlighted by a piece of white fabric, a small cut above the does, in the sky, very discreet when the painting is viewed from several meters away, signs of wear, and inevitable cracks, are in good overall condition. The canvas shows some slight distension effects in places, but this remains fairly discreet. The frame, on the other hand, probably contemporary with the painting, has no particular defects except for some traces of wear here and there.

The photos were taken under a skylight created by my Velux, in the afternoon. After numerous tests, I realized that the color rendering, in the first photo, with my equipment, is the one that most faithfully reproduces what can be observed in conditions that most people would consider "normal", namely offering a good compromise between sufficient light source and nuanced colors without excess. Note, however, that computer or mobile phone screens other than mine, and depending on their brightness and contrast, may more or less modify the results I have achieved. With these elements in mind, you can nevertheless consider my photos as sufficiently representative sources of reality, in observation conditions similar to those described earlier.

Notice to collectors, people attracted to vintage items, curiosities, decorative objects, or simply admirers of their intrinsic beauty! It's a great gift idea.

The shipment will be done with care, unless you prefer a hand delivery, which is entirely possible if you make the trip. WARNING: All my shipments include insurance proportional to the value of the goods.

Also, in order for this to be taken into account, if the cardboard is (sufficiently) damaged, it is imperative that you refuse the package from the staff of the relay point or the delivery person, depending on the chosen shipping method, before they scan the shipping label or perform any other operation confirming that you have received the package; therefore, ask to check the condition of the cardboard well, not omitting any place, before it acts. If your refusal to receive is formulated, the package will be kept by the relay point or the delivery person to be returned to me, for a verification of the delivery service aiming to report the responsibility of the delivery person and to make the insurance effective (information gleaned from the Mondial Relay and La Poste websites).

If the delivery is made in your mailbox because the dimensions of the package allow it, without handing it over in person, with La Poste, and the cardboard is damaged, you must return it to the nearest post office without opening it. Please note that in all these cases, you may think, for any reason, that the item inside the cardboard remains in perfect condition and therefore accept the delivery of the package - or not go to the nearest post office -, but the delivery services count on human error, which suits them well since, I repeat, the insurance is then no longer effective due to damage; less expenses for them then! And do not count on shaking the package to determine if the item is broken; unless it is made of glass or ceramic, the sound of breakage is imperceptible.

If you have any questions or would like more photos, please feel free to let me know.
