You are viewing a gorgeous French oil painting by the artist J De Ninville
Piece shows a scene in a tavern with the three figures in the foreground sat around a sherry cask
Characters are dressed in musketeers outfits - perhaps it''s the three? - which puts the scene in the 18th century
In the background are two more characters in the shade
The painting illustrates a great use of the technique of chiaroscuro with it''s strong contrasts between light and dark
The use of chiaroscuro reminds me of the work of Italian artist Carvaggio
Comes in the gorgeous gilt frame
J De Ninville worked out of Paris in the 19th Century and his works are highly collectable
Great narrative piece very detailed brushwork, intricate and fine, the work of a skilled master
The signature is in the bottom right hand corner, please see close up photo
