EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on canvas painting by Louis Leopold Boilly, showcasing his exceptional talent and attention to detail. Measuring 32.4x40.9 cm, this artwork depicts an intimate scene of domesticity and warmth. In this charming composition, a woman can be seen cooking bouillie (a type of porridge) in a cozy interior setting.
