Oil painting on horizontal canvas, depicting a lively rural scene. On the right of the bucolic composition, thick, dark vegetation forms the backdrop to a fountain with a mask and a stepped base on which a male profile rests, a bas-relief carved in marble in the foreground.
The depiction is rich in animals and characters: a woman and child on horseback, figures of shepherds on foot intent on grazing and tending a small flock of sheep, a goat, and three cows.
On the left of the painting, a natural setting opens the view towards the planted plain, where a landscape with reliefs can be seen on the horizon in the background, bathed in soft daylight filtered by the clouds.
The compositional model of this work of Central European origin describes a serene and genuine reality, with complete harmony between the figures and the landscape.
The painting comes from a private collection in Milan and is in good condition. The canvas is a bit loose and could use some cleaning. It is unframed. See less
