Painting, oil on canvas "Farmers at Rest with Horses" – early 19th century

A 19th-century oil painting on canvas depicting a rural scene with horses and peasant figures.

The composition features two horses in the foreground—one white and one bay—next to two young people, a man and a woman, seated near a haystack or rustic structures,
likely in an agricultural or travel setting.

In the background, a rural landscape unfolds, featuring a mill in the distance against a vast sky with luminous clouds, rendered with a soft palette and warm tones.

The work stands out for its narrative and pastoral atmosphere, typical of genre painting, with attention to the details of the animals and the rendering of natural light.

The brushwork appears loose yet precise in the focal points, lending depth and movement to the scene.

The canvas is unframed but has a protective wooden border around the perimeter.

Condition: the painting has been re-stretched (see photo) and re-framed; it shows slight craquelure and wear on the painted surface, consistent with the work’s age.

Dimensions: 45 x 30 cm.

Ideal for collectors of antique paintings, lovers of rural scenes, or for interiors with a classic and refined style.
