EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting 19th-century oil painting, titled "The Little Art Lovers," is a captivating work by French artist Hippolyte Michaud. Painted between 1840 and 1886, this masterpiece showcases a scene of innocent delight and fascination with the arts. The setting is an artist's studio, filled with an array of colors and tools, where two cherubic children, possibly from the Low Countries, are intently examining a drawing on an easel. The children, dressed in simple garments, are reminiscent of the cherubim and putti from Dutch and French art of the period. Their expressions convey a sense of wonder and curiosity as they study the lines and shapes of the drawing, their tiny fingers tracing the contours with great care. The artist, perhaps Michaud himself, looks on approvingly from the background, his palette and brushes at the ready. This charming painting, with its warm colors and delicate brushstrokes, is a testament to the enduring appeal of the arts and the joy they bring to people of all ages. The children's nakedness, while a common motif in the art of the time, is tastefully rendered and adds to the sense of innocence and purity. The painting is now part of the esteemed collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a fitting tribute to its artistic heritage and significance in European art history. "The Little Art Lovers" is a delightful reminder of the power of art to inspire and captivate, and the importance of nurturing that love and curiosity from a young age. It is a must-see for any art lover or connoisseur, and a cherished addition to any portfolio or collection.
