Art lovers, print enthusiasts and collectors were frequent subjects in the 19th century.

Honoré Daumier, Ernest Meissonier, Degas, all treated the art lover, the researcher, the enthusiast, in different places: at home, in a museum, in a gallery.
Our painting is signed R Janik, dated 1872.

The painter's touch is of exquisite quality and technical mastery.

Every detail, from the foreground to the background, is carefully thought out, from the attitude of the characters to the paintings in the store.
