Clovis Terraire – Cows In A Meadow In A Mountain Landscape – Oil On Canvas – Signed

Oil on canvas by Clovis Terraire, depicting this artist's favorite subject: cows grazing in a meadow. In the background is a village nestled in dense vegetation, placed in front of a mountain, probably in Dauphiné or Bugey, regions that Terraire liked to depict. A thin strip of sky with a few clouds floating above it occupies the top of the painting.

The work is signed lower left. The colors are strong, and the work is in very good condition. There are no restorations noted. The work is offered in a beautiful carved and painted wooden frame, in good condition (one repair at the bottom right).
