Description : Scena galante

Oil painting on canvas. Signed lower right. Little is known about the life of the Spanish painter Pablo D'Espinosa, who worked for a long time in Italy, painting genre scenes and portraits. His best-known productions are precisely these paintings of eighteenth-century taste, set in the salons of the nobility where ladies and gentlemen entertain themselves gallantly. Rich in details of the interiors, furnishings, clothes, light and almost satirical in the theatricality of the gestures and expressions of the figures (the gallant scene takes place under the painting of the bishop who receives and blesses a lady!), The painting is lively and technically well executed. There are small drops in color; at the bottom right the slight trace of a scratch.
