Flemish school, "Woman at a fountain meeting a small figure" - Lot 610
Flemish school, "Woman at a fountain meeting a small figure" oil on canvas marouflaged on panel (restorations) 18th century (? Difficult to date due to the restoration work carried out) Dim. 36x31 cm In a moulded and blackened wooden frame Dim. 48.5x43.5 cm This subject, still marked by the Flemish taste for illustrating proverbs, is probably a moralistic allegory of the dangers of temptation. The little figure in the curious garment could be the devil tempting the maid. These paintings with multiple interpretations were very fashionable in the 17th century and livened up conversations. Very fine quality painting, whose author could be identified.
