Hand coloured lithograph

A delightful vintage hand-coloured lithograph depicting a scene from Recueil de Scènes Populaires by the French artist Edme-Jean Pigal, beautifully presented in a soft duck egg blue and gilt frame that lends it an unmistakable air of French elegance.
The artwork captures the charm and gentle romance of everyday life in old France, evoking images of quiet village streets and a slower, more graceful age. The soft colouring and delicate details sit beautifully within the faded grandeur of the frame, creating a piece that feels as though it has stepped straight from a Parisian apartment or a country château.
There are some age-related marks to the mount, entirely in keeping with the age of the piece and adding to its authentic, timeworn appeal and story.
A wonderfully sweet and decorative picture, perfect for bringing a touch of French country charm and understated romance to a gallery wall, bedroom, hallway or cosy reading corner.
Frame size: 15.5cm x 17.5cm.
