Oil Painting, “the Shepherdess”, 19th Century School – 2nd Part 19th

Oil painting on canvas from the French school, dating from the second part of the 19th century. This work depicts a shepherdess resting, surrounded by her flock of sheep. This woman balances her long stick, her two hands and her head resting on it. Dressed in a spring outfit, she wears a high gray headdress. The color of these clothes contrasts with the deep green of the pastures, the sea and the sky. The subject of the shepherdess with the sheep, addressed in numerous works, is treated here with a pronounced play of luminosity. This painting presents a gilded frame in the Empire Restoration style, carved with foliage and flowers. This oil painting will appeal to lovers of finely executed art. ******** Period: 2nd part 19th Century Excellent condition.
