"Animated Landscape Of The 19th Century"
Oil on canvas, framed in a gilt and patinated frame. The subject depicts a peaceful rural landscape: in the foreground, a dark river where two figures stand by the water's edge; to the left, large leafy trees; in the background, verdant hills and two church towers rising in soft light. The style, with its visible brushstrokes and diffused light, evokes the Romantic or Impressionist school of the 19th century, in the tradition of Constable or Corot. The whole exudes a tranquil and pastoral atmosphere. Signed lower right
