EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century artwork, titled "Jeune garçon tenant un panier enfermant deux pigeons" (A young boy holding a basket containing two pigeons), is a testament to the artistic prowess of Ecole Francaise during the late 1700s. The image, painted on a circular copper or enameled panel, depicts a young boy in a country setting, dressed in the fashion of the era, holding a wicker basket that cradles two pigeons. The boy's expression is one of concentration and care, as if he is preparing to release the birds from their temporary home. The black background adds depth and focus to the scene, highlighting the intricate details of the boy's clothing, the texture of the basket, and the delicate feathers of the pigeons. This piece is a fine example of the Bassanese or Bassotelle style, a popular genre of French painting that focused on rural scenes and everyday life. It is believed that such works were often created as pendants or part of a larger series, and were prized by collectors for their charming depictions of country life. This image, now housed in Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris, is a valuable addition to the heritage of French art and a reminder of the beauty and craftsmanship of the past.
