Ziem - Barbizon - Cottage In Forest - 1850

Charming oil by Felix ZIEM corresponding to his "Barbizon" period around 1850, where he regularly went to the forest of Fontainebleau and became friends with Theodore ROUSSEAU and Jean-François MILLET.

Here we discover a peasant woman at the entrance to her half-timbered cottage in the forest.

Artworks from this period are difficult to find, unlike his views of Venice, which are abundant

Bears a monogram "Z" at the bottom right
Annotation "Ziem" on the reverse
