Peaceful Days 1875

Giovanni Boldini's "Peaceful Days," a portrait of a woman and a child in an interior, captures a quiet domestic moment from the 19th century. Painted in 1875, the artwork features a woman reclining on a chaise lounge, likely reading a book or engaged in needlepoint, while a young child plays with a toy on the floor. The artist’s use of light and color, and his dynamic brushstrokes, create a sense of movement and life within the seemingly tranquil scene, highlighting the relationship between these figures in their opulent setting.
