Grisaille XVIII th

I've always love this kind of painting, they call it grisaille , it is monochromatic painting and most of them are from the XVIII th century.
This one was in a bad shape but I had to rescue it.
j'ai toujours adoré ce type de peintures, on appelle cela les grisailles. Ce sont des peintures monochromes , en principe grise ( cette fois brique) et la plupart du temps elles sont XVIII.

Celle ci était en très mauvais état mais je n'ai pas pu résister , il faut que je la sauve

le jugement, grisaille en tondo XVII th. dans mon petit cabinet de curiosités
