About

Decorate a den, breakfast room, or country estate wall with this charming antique pastoral painting. Crafted in France circa 1780 and set inside its original carved and painted wood frame, the impressive horizontal composition stretches nearly seven feet wide and depicts a lively barnyard scene populated with roosters, hens, and fowl gathered beside a rustic stone structure in an idyllic countryside landscape. In the distance, rolling hills and a provincial farmhouse create depth and atmosphere, while the foreground is animated with richly painted foliage and straw accents.
Executed in oil on canvas and mounted to a wood backing for stability, the artwork showcases the soft romantic palette and pastoral sensibility associated with the French countryside during the late 18th century. The painter captured the birds with expressive detail and movement, particularly the proud rooster standing prominently at center. The muted earth tones, warm sky, and tranquil rural setting give the piece an inviting decorative presence well suited for both traditional and collected interiors.
The large painting is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and adorns beautiful aged colors with light surface wear consistent with its age. The artwork retains its original painted frame and hanging wire in the back.
Dimensions: 81″W x 35″H
