Le Promeneur

19th-century French School oil painting on canvas by G. Bastard (19th century), signed in the lower left corner. On the back, a partial location description and a label identifies "Magasins du Louvre à Paris". The canvas exhibits a subtle texture to the touch.

This is a captivating landscape, where brushstrokes emit liveliness and emotion. Each zone of vegetation is portrayed with distinct volume and texture, creating a profound sense of depth within the artwork. The use of light is vivid and draws upon a realistic natural palette. The large frame, crafted from dazzling gilded wood, magnifies the light of the scene and adds a profound elegance (and impressive dimension) to the painting.
