£875.00
Superb mid 18th Century French overdoor panel, the walnut frame containing a monochrome oil painting of a country estate, grounds with house in the distance, painted like a grisaille (in greys) but here in hues of blue and called "en camaïeu".
Louis XV period, in sturdy condition, the walnut frame with historical wormholes long extinct, the oil painting on its original canvas and intricate stretcher (see photos of the beautiful back)
The panel, which used to hang over a chateau interior doorway between rooms, is untouched and utterly original. It measures 108cm in width and 56cm in height. Such a beautiful relic from the time of the great king Louis XV.
