About the piece

Painted around 1830 by Gustave Morin, this work depicts a 'récit' or narrative moment. Figures dressed in the elaborate lace collars and hats of the Louis XIII era are captured in a contemplative outdoor setting, showcasing the Romantic era's fascination with historical revival and theatrical storytelling through rich textures and a moody palette.
