$1,500

About

This charming 19th-century French landscape painting is executed on board and protected under glass within a finely cast giltwood frame. The pastoral scene features a tranquil grouping of livestock, cows, goats, sheep, and a herding dog, nestled beneath tall trees against a backdrop of rolling hills, distant mountains, and a sunlit ruin. Richly colored and finely detailed, the composition conveys a sense of calm and rural harmony typical of the Romantic tradition. The ornate Rococo-style frame features deep relief floral and scroll motifs at each corner, adding elegance and visual weight to the petite scale of the work. The protective glass helps preserve the surface, which shows fine craquelure consistent with age. Measuring 10.5 inches high by 9 inches wide and 1.75 inches deep, this framed painting is ideal for adding warmth and bucolic charm to a study, library, or gallery wall. In very good antique condition with age-appropriate wear to the frame. A lovely example of 19th-century French countryside painting in an intimate, collectible format.
