About the piece
Created in 1862 by Félix de Vigne, this oil study offers a glimpse into 18th-century life in Flanders, depicting a baptismal gathering in a wintry town square. The composition captures the atmospheric chill of the season, balanced by the narrative detail of the period costumes and the imposing Gothic architecture of the nearby cathedral.
