Vincent Chevilliard (1841-1904) - 'An Amusing Read'. Scientific Instruments'An Amusing Read', a delightful small oil on panel by Vincent Chevilliard (French, 1841 1904). Signed lower left. The work depicts a clergyman in a summer garden laughing as he's caught unawares by a humorous line in his book. The detail throughout the work is truly exceptional with the expert depiction of light making the subject appear almost three dimensional on the gravel path against the backdrop of leaves and carefully depicted flowers.
