More about this artwork

"A Votre Santé" by Jean François Raffaëlli is a compelling depiction of a simple, serene moment encapsulated in daily life. Painted in 1894, the artwork exhibits strong themes of contentment and humble leisure. The painting captures an elderly man sitting at a rustic wooden table, about to enjoy a modest meal. His expression, while primarily obscured, suggests a moment of quiet contemplation or perhaps a silent toast, as suggested by the title "A Votre Santé" which translates to "To Your Health" in English.In this work, Raffaëlli illustrates a rural setting with a sparse, yet inviting landscape in the background. The soft, muted tones and the sketch-like quality of the lines lend a timeless, almost nostalgic quality to the scene. The objects on the table—a bottle, a large mug, and a piece of bread—while simple, are rendered with a sense of solidity and tangibility that invites the viewer to join in this quiet celebration of life's small pleasures.
