Soft light, balanced composition, and warm earth tones reflect the influence of 19th-century Italian and continental European Romanticism. The scene evokes an idealized pastoral setting inspired by classical antiquity, a hallmark of academic and atelier-trained painters of the period.
The painting is signed “Rastelli” (attributed) in the lower right. The signature is clearly visible but not fully documented, and the artist remains unidentified. Based on stylistic analysis, subject matter, and technique, the work is best attributed to the Italian or European School, late 19th – early 20th century.
