School of Antoine Watteau La Finette
This early 19th century painting, inspired by La Finette, is a very colorful and detailed version of the painting now in the Louvre. Audran Benoît's engraving of La Finette may have been an inspiration for our version of the painting.
La Finette in Jean-Antoine Watteau's painting depicts a woman playing a guitar. The painting, done around 1717-1718, is one of Watteau's notable works and depicts a young woman, dressed in an elegant costume, playing music. This figure embodies the graceful and delicate qualities typical of Watteau's depictions of the French Rococo period, highlighting his talent for capturing the nuances of human expression and the charm of everyday moments.
This beautiful work is framed in an original gilded rococo frame that shows no severe damage. The work measures 21 x 27 cm excluding the frame.
