Description

This elegant oil painting by the listed French artist Eliza Joinville (XIX) depicts a charming romantic scene in Rococo style, set in a lush, wooded garden. Central to the composition is a gentleman in historical costume serenading two ladies with a lute or guitar. The ladies, dressed in sumptuous 18th-century attire, appear amused and engaged—the first sitting on the grass in a red and gold dress, and the second on a stone bench beside the musician, leaning gently toward him.

The background features shady trees that create an intimate and secluded atmosphere. A marble statue and distant figures suggest aristocratic leisure and pastoral fantasy, characteristic of the Rococo and Romantic eras. Subtle details—such as a wine bottle and goblets on the grass—underscore the themes of relaxation, music, and refined courtship.

A fine example of romanticized European art, this work evokes a bygone era of elegance and courteous charm. E. Joinville's paintings fetch high prices; for instance, one was sold at Christie’s for over 9000 USD (including fees).

All colors in this artwork are subjective and may vary on your monitor. It is signed by the artist in the lower right corner as E. Joinville. The painting is in relatively good condition considering its age; minor restorations have been carried out, but as shown in the photos, they do not detract from the image. It will be delivered in a beautiful frame.
