Art Appreciation
I came across an amazing painting of a young girl seated nude on sheep skin, covered with a shawl and playing a mandore musical instrument.
The painting is by French propaganda painter Théobald Chartran. Born on July 20, 1849, Chartran was known for painting figures representing historical scenes. He also was considered a favorite portraitists of elegant society.
You can view more of his wonderful work HERE.
