Hello, I am selling this painting with a height of 44 cm by 36 cm wide including the frame. It is a superb oil on canvas, undoubtedly from the 19th century, possibly the work of a French painter, representing a sunset under which two does and a stag, almost entirely enveloped in darkness, are at the edge of a river with the probable intention of drinking from it. The darkness contrasts with the sublime pink-orange tones in the sky, the reflections in the water, crossed here and there by peaceful movements, that the surrounding vegetation, dominated by a vigorous-looking tree, embraces to give itself a soft light here and there.

The painting, despite some small chips here and there, some paint losses (some let light through but are only really visible when backlit), one of which, luckily, resembles a ripple on the water, a probable old restoration at the back, highlighted by a piece of white fabric, a small cut above the does, in the sky, very discreet when viewed from several meters away, signs of wear, and inevitable cracks, is in good overall condition. The canvas shows some slight distension effects in places, but it remains fairly discreet. The frame, probably contemporary with the painting, has no particular defects except for some signs of wear here and there. The photos were taken under a skylight created by my Velux, in the afternoon.

After many tests, I realized that the colors, in the second photo, with my equipment, are the ones that most faithfully reproduce what can be observed in conditions that most people would consider "normal", namely those that offer a good compromise between sufficient light source and nuanced colors without excess. Note, however, that computer or mobile phone screens other than mine, depending on their brightness and contrast, may more or less modify the results I have achieved. With these elements in mind, you can nevertheless consider my shots as sufficiently representative sources of reality, under observation conditions similar to those described above. Attention collectors, people attracted to vintage items, curiosities, decorative objects, or simply admirers of their intrinsic beauty! It's a great gift idea.

Shipping will be done with care, unless you prefer hand delivery, which is entirely possible if you make the trip. WARNING: All my shipments include insurance proportional to the value of the goods. Also, in order for this to be taken into account, if the box is (sufficiently) damaged, it is imperative that you refuse the package from the staff at the collection point or from the courier, depending on the chosen mode of delivery, before it scans the shipping note or performs any other operation confirming that you have received the package; therefore, ask to check the condition of the box thoroughly, without omitting any spot, before it acts. If your refusal of receipt is formulated, the package will be kept by the collection point or the courier to be returned to me, for a verification of the delivery service to report the responsibility of the courier and make the insurance effective (information gathered from the Mondial Relay and La Poste websites). If the delivery is made to your mailbox because the dimensions of the package allow it, without hand delivery, with La Poste, and the box is damaged, you must return it to the nearest post office without opening it.

Please note that in all these cases, you may think, for any reason, that the item inside the box remains in perfect condition and therefore accept the delivery of the package - or not go to the nearest post office -, but the delivery services count on the margin of error, which incidentally suits them since, I repeat, the insurance is then no longer effective due to damage; less expenses for them then! And don't count on shaking the package to determine if the item is broken; unless it is made of glass or ceramic, the sound of breakage is imperceptible. If you have any questions or would like more photos, please feel free to let me know.
