A reverent and atmospheric antique oil painting on board, signed E. Bouray (lower right), dating to circa 1900 and sourced from France. The scene depicts a woman in period dress kneeling before an altar, her hands folded in prayer beneath the soft glow of candlelight. Behind her, a gilded frame encloses an image of the Madonna and Child, surrounded by tall taper candles and a vase of fresh flowers-an intimate moment of devotion captured in rich color and detail. Details. Medium: Oil on board. Date: c. 1900 (late 19th-early 20th century). Origin: France, recently imported. Signature: Signed lower right. Size: 28 x 24 inches (unframed). Condition: Good antique condition with expected age wear, surface craquelure, and some edge rubbing (see photos). Ready to frame or hang as-is. A beautiful addition to a sacred-space vignette, Victorian interior, or dark-academia collection-perfect for lovers of religious art, European interiors, and historical storytelling.
