Oil on canvas, applied to panel. French School. Signed F. Barthélemy and dated 1876 lower left. The scene is in oriental taste and setting, and suggests the domestic and intellectual education of a young girl (the reference, albeit secular, to the Education of the Virgin is evident!): a young girl, standing at the center of the scene, while intent on embroidery, listens to the teaching of her mother, who is holding some written sheets in her hands; the elderly woman is dressed in oriental dress and reclining on a triclinium, while, behind her, a servant moves the curtain, revealing the background of an imposing classical temple. The scene is characterized by carefully crafted and richly detailed settings, such as the bunch of flowers on the embroidery table, the fabric covering the triclinium on which the mother is reclining; the intimate and domestic atmosphere is underlined by the earthy colours of the palace walls, on which the bright colours of the figures stand out, well lit by the light bursting from outside. The painting is presented in a period frame.

Oil on canvas. Flemish school of the 18th century. Lively and animated scene, depicting a popular festival in the village: a group of men and women in front of the village inn, recognizable by the sign, dance accompanied by musicians on the left, while the people around observe, drink, chat. Restored and relined, the painting is presented in a gilded frame in period.

Oil on canvas. French school of the 18th century. The scene depicts the moment in which an elegant young woman arrives at the site of an outdoor party: she is getting off her country carriage, pulled by dogs, gallantly helped by a young gentleman. Around her are the maid, still on the carriage, holding the parasol, the other girls in her entourage and the innkeeper who welcome the lady, and are preparing to set up the banquet with the food contained in the basket. The bright colors of the characters enliven the rural setting, while the white dress of the protagonist stands out and illuminates the scene. The painting, in the first canvas, shows traces of restoration and small losses of color. It is presented in an early 1900s frame.
