Antique Pastoral Landscape with Cows Oil Painting – 19th Century, Gold Framed
A beautifully detailed mid-19th century French pastoral landscape with cows, depicting a rustic farmhouse nestled among trees with cattle resting in the foreground. This charming French pastoral dates to the mid-19th century and captures the tranquil rhythm of rural life in the French countryside. A winding path draws the viewer into the composition, leading toward open fields and distant landscape.
The artist demonstrates strong academic training, particularly in the handling of light and landscape depth. The trees are carefully structured, with layered foliage and warm autumnal tones contrasting against the soft blue sky. The cattle are rendered with naturalistic proportions and subtle shading, anchoring the scene and reinforcing the pastoral calm. The composition balances intimacy with openness, creating a scene that feels both inviting and expansive.
Good antique condition with age-related craquelure and surface wear consistent with age. The paint surface is stable and has recently been cleaned and a new varnish applied. The frame shows wear and patina appropriate to its age, adding to its authentic character. The painting is housed in its period gilt frame, whose decorative corner ornaments and warm patina beautifully complement the classical nature of the scene.
This Heirloom piece is ready to hang for another 100 years.
