Aux Champs
£233.00
19th-century French School oil on metal plate, signed (illegible) in the lower left corner. The surface is mostly smooth with some textured areas.
This rare oil painting on metal from the late 1800s highlights tin as a popular medium in the 19th century, allowing for greater detail than canvas. This is evident in the intricate depiction of trees and foliage.
The painting portrays a countryside scene with a couple resting beside a field, likely laborers taking a break as the field shows recent tilling.
The painting is in good condition, with a few marks and scratches on the surface. The frame is contemporary and not an original antique.
