Antique 19th Century Oil Painting – Children in a Rustic Interior

A charming and atmospheric mid-19th century oil painting depicting two children in a dimly lit rustic interior. The young boy, likely a little rascal, appears to be trying to smoke a cigarette while a girl looks on with amusement. A small dog sits at their feet, completing this delightful genre scene full of character and warmth.

This antique painting comes in a heavy, beautifully detailed golden frame, which enhances its old-world charm and character. The frame shows some signs of age and has been partially restored; however, when hung, any imperfections are barely noticeable and do not detract from its beauty.

The painting itself is in good condition considering its age. It's a bit of a dark painting because it takes place in a dark back room. The frame, though showing minor age-related wear, remains sturdy and attractive.

The work is of good quality and unfortunately illegibly signed in the lower right corner.
