Oil Painting On Canvas By Jean-antonio Vernet 1716-1775

This oil painting on canvas depicts an 18th-century river landscape. The painting depicts an idyllic scene centered on a river flowing through lush countryside, with farmhouses and lush hills in the distance, and mountain peaks in the distance. On the banks of the river are depicted people performing everyday tasks such as fishing, washing clothes, and gathering firewood, as well as people sitting along the banks relaxing after a tiring day's work. The painting style represents the picturesque landscape genre, typical of the 18th century. The work is housed in an elegant gilded frame with relief work, but it is not known whether it is contemporary with the painting. Finally, the painting is signed JEAN VERNET at the lower right.
