This vintage postcard features an oval reproduction of an artwork attributed to Nicolas Lancret, a French Rococo painter known for his gallant scenes. The image depicts a scene of leisure, with figures in period attire seemingly enjoying a pastoral setting. The composition includes a man in a red and brown coat, women in elegant dresses, and a child, set against a backdrop of trees and what appears to be a decorative outdoor fountain or structure. A discarded basket of flowers and other items are present in the foreground. The original artwork, titled Linnocence or Innocence, is noted on the reverse of the postcard in multiple languages, including French, German, Spanish, and Russian, with the name H. Лаикре. [Likely a transliteration of Lancret.] The postcard also indicates that the original artwork is located in the Musée du Louvre in Paris.The back of the postcard is printed with lines for addressing, as well as a space for a stamp. The phrase PRINTED IN PARIS is printed vertically in red ink. There is a handwritten So in the upper-right stamp box. There is no cancellation mark present officiel, suggesting that the postcard was never mailed. The number 1159 is printed in the lower-left corner of the reverse. The cardstock exhibits age-related discoloration, particularly noticeable along the edges and in the lower-right corner of the reverse, with some staining. The corners show blunted edges, indicating handling. The postcard serves as a tangible artifact, reflecting both an appreciation for 18th-century French art and the early 20th-century practice of circulating reproductions of artworks through postcards. This example is an exemplar of period ephemera..
