A young mother is sitting in a beam of light at a table with three of her infants wriggling on her lap. An older child is seated at the table, while another plays in the shadows on the floor and a baby’s cradle is rocked by an old woman. The young servant’s headdress and the straw-covered flask of wine on the table suggest that the artist was in or knew Italy. They were clearly familiar with Greuze’s painting The Well-Beloved Mother (private collection, Madrid) as the group of the mother and children is very similar. We do not know who painted this picture. Although Jean-Honoré Fragonard produced sketchy interior scenes with working women during his first stay in Italy in 1756–61, the brushwork does not resemble his extremely fluid way of painting.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/french-a-domestic-scene\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - A Domestic Scene\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"French 18th Century Artist","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509566705907,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (14 3\/4\" x 19\")","offer_id":50509566738675,"sku":null,"price":617.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (15 3\/4\" x 20 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509566771443,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (19 1\/4\" x 24 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509566804211,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (23 5\/8\" x 30 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509566836979,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (30 1\/2\" x 39 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509566869747,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (36 5\/8\" x 47 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509566902515,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (43 1\/8\" x 55 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509566935283,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (51 3\/4\" x 66 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509566968051,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/ADomesticScene.jpg?v=1789634616","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/a-domestic-scene-ngal552","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
