Hi everyone!
I saw this painting in town the other day and I qiute liked it I have looked for a signature but cant find one, the frame has been replaced at some point too! I was thinking about buying it but they wanted a fair bit of cash for it. Does anyone recognise this work or does anyone recognise the style, I would love some info on this painting or just any help at all in trying to identify who its by? Thanks a million, Finlay

The Prayer Before Me, by Jean-Baptiste-Simeon Chardin. Credit really belongs to Google Images search.

Unless they've got the original and the Louvre is hanging a copy, yes. BTW, the correct title is "The Prayer before Meal", which makes more sense. The site I linked to shows the wrong title.

Thanks very much for your help John. Probably not worth the money they are asking for it then £100.00. Yes Prayer before meal does make more sense. I was at the Louvre a few months ago so I have probably seen this painting!!
Thanks again Finlay |
