Item Description
This late 19th-century oil painting on canvas depicts a shepherdess with her goat along a forest path, with the sky opening in the top right corner and a country fence below. The trees and bushes are rendered in a lush camaïeu of greens and browns, while the open composition blends the figure in simple dark clothes with the surrounding forest. Short, dynamic brushstrokes in the Impressionist style capture the fleeting movement of nature, while a ray of sunlight anchors the scene, illuminating a tall tree in soft greens and greys that extend to the ground and the goat, emphasizing the play of natural light.
This charming pastoral scene evokes the forest landscapes of the Barbizon School, while its free brushwork and transient light effect are characteristic of Impressionism. A delightful work, capturing a candid moment in nature, it remains in excellent condition and is presented in its original giltwood frame.
- Framed dimensions: 33 x 41.5 cm
- Canvas dimensions: 25 x 32.5 cm
- Excellent condition. Minor wear to the frame, commensurate with age.
