Près des Falaises

A 19th-century French School oil painting on wood, signed (illegible) in the lower left corner. The work has a slight texture to the touch.

This French landscape oil painting depicts a solitary figure with a fishing pole walking on the beach under the cliffs, likely in Normandy. The sands and cliffs are rendered as if the artist were using pastels, smudging the oil into surfaces and textures. The sky, particularly the clouds, is thick and textured with oil.

The piece is further enhanced by its original antique frame in dark gold, adding to its charm.
