19th Century French School - The Milkmaid

Descriptio Pastel on paper. Dimensions: 64 × 51 cm. Genre drawing depicting a young milkmaid, a recurring theme in 17th- and 18th-century European painting, linked to scenes of everyday life and often laden with subtle symbolic connotations. The work falls within the Rococo style, with a delicate treatment of the face and special attention to expression and the softness of the modeling. The pronounced neckline introduces a touch of restrained sensuality, characteristic of this type of representation. The composition recalls models popularized by artists such as Jean-Baptiste Greuze, whose iconography greatly influenced this genre. Lot in international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipping: no import duties apply within the EU. An export permit from the country of origin may be required. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed.
