Circa 1880 - 19th Century French Landscape Painting Oil on Panel in Gilt Frame
A serene and finely balanced 19th-century French landscape, dating to around 1880, depicting a calm river bordered by trees beneath a softly clouded sky. Traditional in composition and restrained in palette, this oil painting is presented in an excellent quality, elegant period gilt frame. Panel is the marked Paris on the back.
This atmospheric landscape presents a quiet river scene, its reflective surface mirroring trees and sky with subtle tonal harmony. The composition is classical and measured, with a low horizon, gently receding banks, and carefully arranged foliage guiding the eye into the distance. Brushwork is controlled and deliberate, favouring structure and balance over expressive gesture. The palette remains muted and harmonious, relying on greens, soft blues, and earthy tones to create a calm, timeless atmosphere.
Good antique condition with age-appropriate wear. Panel is stable. Paint surface shows light craquelure consistent with age. Frame retains patina and minor wear, adding to its authenticity and charm. The painting is executed in oil on panel, lending it a smooth surface and crisp handling of detail. It is housed in a substantial gilt frame with finely cast decorative corner motifs, which complements the painting beautifully and enhances its formal character.
