Beautiful 19th-century French Oil On Canvas – Pastoral Landscape, House, River, And Mountains

A beautiful 19th-century French oil on canvas depicting a peaceful pastoral landscape, from the collection of Count Raymond d’Aux.

The scene depicts a charming countryside landscape featuring a stone house at the edge of a path running alongside the river, a few animals coming to drink from the riverbank, and rolling hills opening up to distant mountain peaks. The cloudy yet luminous sky lends the entire scene a gentle, contemplative atmosphere.

The painting is set in its substantial, period-appropriate gilded wooden frame, which elegantly highlights the composition and lends it a beautiful decorative presence.

On the reverse, a handwritten label reads: “Painting belonging to Count Raymond d’Aux”. This inscription provides an interesting piece of provenance information, indicating that the work once belonged to the private collection of Count Raymond d’Aux.
