French School, 18th Century
Adoration of the shepherds,
oil on panel, 23.7 x 18.7 cm, unframed
Provenance:
Private European collection
This painting on panel, with the Adoration of the Shepherds, reveals a complex composition, both in the elaboration of spatial relationships and in the varied poses of the figures, with bright and lively palette. The refined elegance is in accord with the finest style of French eighteenth century art.
In the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Lille, there is a small panel that is attributed to Jean Honoré Fragonard which can be compared to the present painting both in terms of size and subject, as well as for its compositional choices and its palette (see: Catalogue sommaire illustré des peintures - Musée des beaux-arts de Lille, ed. by A. de Lavergnée, II, Paris, 2001, cat. no. P 329).
