Acquired in a private sale in 2005 with the help of the Association of Friends of the Museum, the region of Brittany and the French state (FRAM)
H. 102 cm ; L. 130,5 cm
The painter combines real elements and whimsical details with extraordinary brilliance. The asymmetry of the composition, the desire for disorder and accumulation, and a lively touch contribute to the animation of this scene. This was possibly a representation of the return of Jules Noël’s family to Quimper in 1814. He is represented as a child, then aged three and a half, seen next to his parents.
