French school oil painting on canvas depicting a genre scene, in particular the announcement of the defeat at Waterloo, 19th century. The scene, set in the poor room of an elderly war veteran, who is crying in his bed, sees his family telling him the sad news of the defeat at Waterloo, as can be deduced from the sheet of newspaper in the woman's hands, on which the name stands out of the historic location where Napoleon Bonaparte was definitively defeated. The canvas shows signs of previous restorations, in particular the patch corresponding to the female figure is clearly visible. It is presented in an early 20th century frame. Size without frame: 60 x 49 cm.
