Landscape With Cows By The River - Oil On Canvas - Art Nouveau Late 19th Century

Very charming late 19th-century pastoral landscape depicting two cows by a river in a peaceful, luminous countryside.
The composition, imbued with gentleness and naturalism, perfectly conveys the aesthetics of the Art Nouveau period with its supple brushwork, harmonies of greens and browns and attention to atmospheric effects.

The eye is guided along the river winding through the landscape while the animals in the foreground bring all the life and balance to the scene. The diffused light and delicate tones lend the whole a serene, poetic atmosphere.

Oil on canvas bearing a signature in the lower right yet to be deciphered.
A highly decorative work ideal for a charming interior, a country house or a collection of old paintings.

Era: late 19th century
