Antique French Barbizon Cabinet Landscape – Cows Grazing Near a Normandy France Village, 19th Century Oil, Gold Framed
A small and charming late 19th-century oil on panel depicting grazing cattle in the Normandy countryside. A beautifully atmospheric French pastoral scene presented in its period gilt frame. A small herd of cattle grazes peacefully in a green meadow, while village houses and farm buildings sit softly along the horizon line. The painter has rendered the cows with confident, lively brushwork, giving each animal character and movement. The village structures in the background anchor the scene in a distinctly Norman setting, with low stone walls and clustered countryside architecture.
Normandy was a central region for landscape painters during the 19th century. Its fertile fields, grazing cattle, and soft northern light made it a favourite subject for artists seeking naturalism and rural truth. Smaller cabinet-sized panels like this were often painted en plein air as they were easy to transport from studio to field.
Good antique condition with age-related craquelure and minor surface wear consistent with its period. Panel is stable. Frame shows gentle patina and wear appropriate to age. Executed in oil on wooden panel, the surface retains a lovely texture and warmth. The painting is housed in a period gilt frame with layered mouldings that complement the pastoral subject beautifully.
