Very nice work in oil paint on mahogany panel depicting a woman with dog at a stairwell.

This beautiful work of art was painted by the Belgian artist Willem Linnig de Eerste (1819 - 1885).

There is a lot to see in this atmospheric panel with beautiful lighting on the stairwell. Among other things, there is a view outside with a spinning wheel in front.

The panel is in perfect condition. Only the beautiful authentic frame has some imperfections.

Signed with Linning on the bottom right 1861. Dimensions: 78 x 70 cm. The panel itself is 52 x 44 cm.

Willem Linnig studied at the academy of fine arts in Antwerp. He mainly painted the themes and style of the Flemish and Dutch genre paintings from the 17th century.

His works were able to reconstruct the atmosphere of 17th-century Antwerp with scrupulous application. He had a preference for interior scenes such as taverns, houses, artists' studios and civilian homes.

His work is on display in the museums in various countries.
