Beautiful painting of two young boys feeding the birds with a large tray on an elegant garden stairway. Mother of pearl is incorporated into the painted scene which gives a striking moonlit effect. The hand painted combination gives a more faint view visible for distant objects such as the trees and floral in the background. Gilt scroll painting on the three legs and pedestal. Tilts with the aid of a sturdy brass knob beneath. All mother of pearl in tact,the painting preserved perfectly as well.
