A lovely painting depicting what appears to be a family with their pet dog within a pastoral landscape. Very much in the circle of the 17th-18th century, usually stated French painter Philippe Mercier (Berlin 1689-1760 London).

Philippe Mercier (also spelled Philip Mercier; 1689 – 18 July 1760) was an artist of French Huguenot descent from the German realm of Brandenburg-Prussia (later Kingdom of Prussia), usually defined to French school. Active in England for most of his working life, Mercier is considered one of the first practitioners of the Rococo style, and is credited with influencing a new generation of 18th-century English artists.In 1729 Mercier was appointed Principal Painter to Frederick, Prince of Wales, subsequently being appointed Gentleman Page of the Bedchamber (1729).

The painting is very close to the work of the painter and from the corresponding period.
