Circa: 1887
Condition: Excellent Original Condition

This is a thoroughly inspirational, captivating, and very rare antique Victorian print of two sisters praying together. Their faces capture sweet innocence. Their pose is charming and the setting is enchanting with roses and Victorian furnishings. The print is signed by the famous listed artist, "E. Munier" and dated, "1887". The original matting is also special, adding texture and interest. The original wood and gesso frame is exceptional and outstanding!!! It has elaborate, floral gesso work throughout. This very special frame retains a wonderful old patina. Both the print and frame are in excellent original condition. Original glass, wood backing, and wire hanger. Circa 1887.

*** I've included an interesting COMMENT ON THE RARITY & VALUE OF EMILE MUNIER'S ARTWORK:

"Munier's beautiful and sentimental paintings have always been sought-after and his work is still popular and highly valued on the rare occasions on which it turns up at auction today."

~ This short article was cited from the following website: ArtinaClick.com

*** I've also included a FASCINATING BRIEF BIO ON FAMOUS LISTED ARTIST, EMILE MUNIER:

"French painters of the 19th century were known for their sense of color and enchanting interpretations of youthful forms. In Emile Munier we find the maturity and appreciation of manhood and the sensitivity of the artist combined with the freshness and innocence of childhood.

Born in Paris, Munier spent his life there surrounded by his family – including some of the delightful models whose pleasing images he portrayed in his art. He received instruction in art initially from Abel Lucas at the Gobelins Factory and later from William Adolphe Bouguereau. Bouguereau epitomized academic art in France and was one of the most financially successful of artists. From this master he acquired his sensitivity, style and refine coloring.

Beginning in 1869, the artist exhibited regularly at the annual Paris Salon. In 1882 he was awarded an Honorable Mention.

Munier was known as a genre painter and an excellent portraitist, but it was the glimpses of child life, so tender and beautiful in sentiment, that endeared him to the public.

Of his work with children one critic wrote: "Their fair forms, perfect in outline and fresh as flowers of Eden, appeal to every mother’s heart, and their earnest faces mirror the purity and devotion of the soul within. Surely no painter of any age has put so much purity, peace and saintliness into children’s faces as Munier. His brush is never soiled with turbid color, nor his canvas stained with an impure suggestion."
