Antique Pastoral Landscape with Horse Oil Painting – 19th Century Equestrian Painting in Gold Framed
A refined circa 1840 French equestrian landscape, depicting a lone rider on a white horse crossing an open countryside. The composition is expansive yet restrained, with low horizons, open fields, and distant trees stretching beneath a pale sky. The scene feels unhurried and contemplative, capturing the rhythm of everyday rural travel rather than a dramatic narrative moment.
The anatomy of the horse is carefully observed, and the subtle modulation of light across the white coat gives the animal presence without excessive detail. The rider is integrated naturally into the landscape, reinforcing the sense of harmony between figure, animal, and environment.
Good antique condition with age-related wear consistent with a work of this period. The panel is stable and sound. Light surface wear and patina are present. The frame shows wear and ageing, adding to the authentic historical character. The painting is housed in a period gilt frame, featuring richly worked ornamentation and a warm antique patina that complements the understated elegance of the composition.
