Cesare Dell'Acqua (Piran 1821-Ixelles 1905), "Les Jeux" Oil on canvas, 86x162 cm, signed "Cesare Dell' Acqua" lower right. The painting depicts a woman with her children, intent on enjoying a sunny day outdoors. In the background, young people are playing with a ball and other instruments, while in the foreground, the mother attracts the attention of her youngest daughter with the help of a little bird perched on the small trestle she holds in her hand. The characters are embellished by the elegant and detailed clothes; the pictorial style is soft but precise, with attention to realistic rendering and a luminosity that gives strength to the painting.
