Oil on canvas artwork depicting a charming rural landscape. The scene is constructed with a delicate balance, and at the center of the composition, three figures indulge in a moment of repose. A woman sits on the ground, resting her right arm on a basket full of fruit while her left hand supports her face, her gaze lost in thought.

next to her, a child is busy eating grapes, and a little further back, a young girl clutches a dove. The subjects are immersed in a verdant landscape that forms the backdrop to the composition, and in the distance, we glimpse a splendid tower. The color palette is characterized by the vividness of the colors and the luminosity of the scene. The subject is somewhat reminiscent of the rococo pastoral scenes of the french painter françois boucher (1703-1770) and his entourage.

20th-century frame in carved and silvered wood, beautifully decorated, with some signs of aging. A highly decorative painting, easily adaptable to any space, whether classic or modern. The painting has undergone a conservative restoration with the canvas applied to a masonite panel and repainting in some areas. Overall, it is in good condition. Internal dimensions: h 64.5 x w 142 cm. See less
