Description
Saint Anne teaching the Virgin Mary to read, Signed, Historicist School, 19th century
Oil on canvas. Dimensions 82 x 61 / 107 x 83 cm. An interior scene of delicate sentimentality depicts Saint Anne instructing the young Virgin Mary by reading an illuminated book. The scene is set within an elegant Neo-Gothic setting featuring a pointed archway, carved furniture and a vase of flowers in the background. The close proximity of the figures, the refinement of their gestures, and the rich palette of greens, reds and golds create a gentle and contemplative image, imbued with a carefully considered moral and religious intention. The execution reflects a 19th-century historicist style, with medieval allusions and a narrative intent. The signature is visible but cannot be reliably identified.
