An 18th Century Pastoral Landscape

Oil on canvas.

A mid-18th century pastoral landscape depicting a man walking his dog over beneath oak trees by a mill house.

This 18th century depiction of the French countryside is well balanced in composition and colours. Its details are expertly executed and can be observed in the rendering of the leaves and clouds, for example, hinting at the rising sun in the East. The animated interaction between the figure and his dog is not only charming, but adds a focal point to this bucolic scene.

Housed in a carved giltwood frame.
