River Fishing

19th-century French school oil painting on wood. The work is signed and has a little texture to the touch. 

A beautiful muted color pastoral fishing scene. The colors, frame and subject work together in this work to create an overall peaceful and harmonious effect. The two figures in the small boat are painted in detail, contrasting with the misty and faded background and light. Charming details such as lily pads are visible in the foreground. The painting is signed in red in the lower right hand corner, "H. Bille."
