This 19th-century oil on wood is in the tradition of the Barbizon School. The composition depicts a bucolic landscape, dominated by large, leafy trees with dense foliage and a meadow enlivened by the presence of two cows peacefully grazing near a pond.
In the background, a solitary figure, likely a shepherd or a walker, accentuates the sense of calm and intimacy characteristic of the Barbizon School. The palette is composed of deep greens, browns, and touches of colorful flowers in the foreground, contrasting with a blue sky dotted with light clouds.
The brushstrokes are fluid and expressive, typical of Barbizon painters who favored working outdoors and the sensitive depiction of light and atmosphere. The antique patinated giltwood frame harmoniously completes the ensemble.
Dimensions: 50cm x 35cm with frame.
