Dated 1871 Paris Garden Scene. Antique Oil Painting with Paris Framer Label
A beautifully detailed French garden scene dated 1871, depicting two women in a lush flower-filled park. Painted with delicacy and narrative charm, and presented in its original gilt frame. The painting bears an original Paris framer’s mark on the reverse, firmly anchoring it to the Paris art world of the early Third Napoleon Republic.
This refined 19th-century French painting presents an intimate garden moment: a standing woman in a pale dress observes another woman seated among flowers, tending to a child or floral arrangement. The scene unfolds within a carefully planted garden, rich with flowering borders, shrubs, and distant stone ornamentation.
Dated 1871, the work belongs to a pivotal moment in French history and art, when painters turned increasingly toward intimate, domestic outdoor scenes rather than grand historical subjects. The composition reflects the influence of genre painting and early plein-air observation, while remaining rooted in academic structure. The painting is dated and signed but the signature is illegible on the front as signed with the backside of a paint brush. The date, "1871" is clear.
Good antique. Colours remain fresh and well balanced. Frame shows patina and minor rubbing consistent with age. The wood panel is made of multiple parts and seamed in the middle, as was common with panels from the mid to late 18th century. The painting is housed in its original gilt frame, which shows a warm, honest patina and some wear and repairs over time. On the reverse, a Paris framer’s label confirms the painting’s early life within the Paris art trade in Saint Germain.
