Antique oil on canvas showing a romantic French scene of a couple waiting for their dog to retrieve a duck - 'scene galante du chasse'.
The canvas, which is signed by the artist, Chauvin, has some lovely detail. The painting is a stunning wooden Empire frame with very attractive mouldings.
This is a very decorative painting which is in excellent condition for its age. There is some damage to the frame which does not detract from its charm.
