Description: | Signed: yes Description: Two couples are set parallel to the picture plane against a woodland backdrop. To the left, there is an exchange between a man in a flamboyant red seventeenth-century costume who appears to have been delivering a letter to a woman in a blue dress. From the right, two women accompanied by a brown and white dog stroll into the painting. Between the couples is a pair of dogs. The picture is painted with great freedom and impasto. The idiosyncratic technique and provisional, sketch-like quality of this picture are characteristic of a painter whose energised style is markedly personal and instantly recognizable. | Subjects: | figure; buildings and gardens | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Monticelli, Adolphe Joseph Thomas (French painter, 1824-1886) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8509... | Go to resource |
