Description: THE ARREST IN PICARDIE Artist: HUGO SALMSON AN ANTIQUE PHOTOGRAVURE PRINTED IN THE 1880's !! PERFECT FOR FRAMING AS AN ART PRINT FOR YOUR DEN !! VERY ANTIQUE & OLD WORLD LOOKING. ITEM(s) OVER 110 YEARS OLD!! Early the latest addition to the Gallery of the Luxembourg and one of the most popular paintings in that national collection, is, The Arrest in Picardie. The story is drawn in the main street of a rustic village in Picardie. A young woman by common rumour has been suspected of the atrocious crime of infanticide, and the dreadful time has arrived when the old woman, most prominent in charge of the morals of the community, has decided to denounce her to the authorities. The Gendarme has been sent for, and in a matter of fact way, takes the unfortunate young creature into custody, whilst the Notary writes down evidence that he considers necessary in the case. The skilful grouping and the powerful dramatic interest thrown into this incident in humble life, bespeak the superior master. The children, wonder-struck, the brother dumb with awe, by the door of his mother's thatched cottage, the grief stricken mother, the peasants gossiping in groups, and even the indifferent hen, all make a contrast to the old woman, who, in her terrible way makes her dreadful accusation against the overwhelmed girl. We can only hope that her suspicions will prove erroneous. Salmson is by birth a Swede, but now a French citizen. He studied at the Academy of Arts, Stockholm, and afterwards under M. Compte of Paris. SIZE: Image size in inches is 7" x 10", overall page size is 10 1/2 " x 16 1/2". CONDITION: Condition is good. Nothing on reverse. Printed on thick, rag stock quality coated paper.
