Bibi Hilton's Oil on Canvas Painting After Pierre Auguste Cot's "Springtime" in Museum Quality Wood and Gilt Gold Frame (From the Estate of Mrs. Bibi Hilton) - This grand, oil on canvas painting was personally owned by Mrs. Bibi Hilton, and decorated her beloved Gulfport, Mississippi home. This is an exquisite painting modeled after French artist Pierre Auguste Cot's "Springtime", painted in 1873, which is currently held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The scene it portrays is one of pure, unbridled joy, a a young couple locked in an embrace on a swing together amidst a tapestry of verdant foliage and blooming flowers. At the heart of the composition stands the swing, a sturdy wooden seat suspended by thick ropes from the branch of a majestic oak tree. Its worn surface bears witness to countless hours of laughter. The boyr, with his tousled chestnut hair and a loving gaze in his eye, leans back, his hands gripping the ropes with youthful exuberance. Beside him, his lady, her golden locks trailing behind her like a cascade of sunlight, leans forward, her face radiant with a smile that mirrors his own. The garden itself seems to come alive in the painting, each brushstroke imbuing it with a sense of vitality and movement. The painting has been professionally framed in a museum quality wood and gilt gold filigree frame. Measurements: 60" x 48.5" (framed). This item comes directly from the estate of Mrs. Bibi Hilton.
