Attributed to Philippe Mercier (1689-1760) - Gallant scene
Oil on canvas, 97 x 70 cm (with frame). The work depicts a gallant scene in which, during a game of "Colin Maillard", a young man declares his love for a lady, while a little Cupid encourages him. On the right, another young woman with a little dog at her feet tries to catch his attention. In the background there is a delicate landscape with a soft blue atmosphere. This painting is attributed to Philippe Mercier, who, without being a direct pupil of Antoine Watteau (who had no formal disciples), painted numerous works in his style. Like other artists such as Nicolas Lancret, Jean-Baptiste Pater or Pierre Antoine Quillard, Mercier adopted Watteau's style, although he also created works influenced by the taste of English painting. Provenance: French private collection.
