Antique oil on canvas painting France, second half of the 17th century.

The painting features a theatrical and scenographic composition, typical of the Lorraine tradition.

On the sides, the scene is framed by natural elements, such as tall, shady trees that serve as backdrops.

This compositional structure guides the viewer's gaze towards the background, almost inviting him to "enter" the scene.

Human figures enliven the foreground, rich in contrasting vegetation and strong chiaroscuro effects.

The second floor offers a view of the river, dominated by a broad light.

The river meanders gently through the landscape, accompanying the viewer's gaze.

In the distance, a wide, aerial view opens up, under a sky of pearly and pink tones, typical of the Lorraine landscape.

The low-angled light suggests a time of day between late afternoon and dawn.

The atmospheric perspective is delicately rendered, giving a sense of immense, almost spiritual distance.

Although unsigned, the work clearly reveals the influence of Claude Lorrain, both in the spatial arrangement and in the poetic use of light.

The present setting, though not contemporary, is beautifully crafted, with rich, deep sculptural decoration.

The well-preserved original gilding creates a luminous frame, highlighting the painting in just the right way.
