Large oil on canvas signed Albert Charpin (1842-1924) representing a flock of sheep accompanied by a couple of shepherds and their dog, surrounded by a magnificent carved frame.
A pupil of Charles-Francois Daubigny, Albert Charpin is known for his works illustrating landscapes and rural scenes. Her painting is characterized by her natural poses and the serenity of her models, against a backdrop of morning daylight, with cloudy skies.
In the foreground of this painting, the warmly colored sheep graze the pasture grass calmly. At their side, a shepherd holding his staff and wearing a round hat, walks forward accompanied by his wife dressed in a cape. Behind them, the shepherd's dog watches over the management of the herd.
The sky presents soft and delicate tones marrying the shapes of the hills on the horizon.
This unique work features the artist's signature at the bottom right.
Surrounding the canvas, a magnificent carved frame in weathered wood fits perfectly with this pastoral scene. Rich in ornamentation, it presents stylized moldings and sculptures forming arabesques.
Albert Charpin signs here a harmonious and aerial work, where nature is presented in a unique way, imbued with poetry and sensitivity.
