Unidentified Artist, 18th Century – Rustic Scene
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions (Framed): 110 x 91 cm
Dimensions (Flat): 100 x 81 cm
Frame: Ornate gilded frame
Description:
This charming 18th-century oil painting captures a rustic pastoral scene, likely influenced by the Rococo and Romantic traditions that emphasized the idyllic simplicity of rural life. The composition centers on a modest yet evocative setting—a thatched-roof dwelling, seemingly constructed from natural materials, where a group of peasants engages in daily activities.
A seated woman in elegant yet humble attire interacts tenderly with two children, while another woman stands nearby, engaged in quiet conversation. The background reveals smoke rising from chimneys, suggesting an active, lived-in space that enhances the painting’s narrative depth. The artist’s masterful use of soft, atmospheric light and delicate brushwork evokes a sense of warmth and harmony, reminiscent of François Boucher or Jean-Baptiste Greuze, who often portrayed rural life with an idealized elegance.
The use of muted earth tones contrasted with soft pastels contributes to the painting’s dreamlike and sentimental quality, making it a fine example of 18th-century genre painting. The detailed rendering of fabric, rustic architecture, and natural elements showcases the artist’s skillful attention to texture and composition.

Condition:
Well-preserved with minor signs of age and patina, consistent with 18th-century artworks. Some areas of craquelure enhance the historical character of the piece.

Landscape with river and resting shepherds
First half of the 18th century
oil painting on canvas
cm. 60 x 93, within a carved and gilded wooden frame cm. 75 x 108
This delightful landscape view animated by a family of shepherds who rest from their daily duties should be compared to the hand of Francesco Zuccarelli (Pitigliano 1702 - Florence 1788);
In the landscapes painted by Zuccarelli the world is crystallized, frozen in a moment of idyllic quiet,
where the 'Arcadian' sense of the landscape is rendered with that pictorial vivacity, chromatic lightness and compositional grace that we find in its entirety in his painting.
By way of comparison we can compare our canvas to other compositions, including:
- Landscape with river and resting shepherds, Accademia Carrara, Bergamo
- Landscape with bridge and horseman, Accademia Carrara, Bergamo
- Landscape with river, village, fisherman and shepherdesses' (Christie's, London May 1960,
- Landscape with figures, Accademia Carrara,
- Landscape with knight and figures, Accademia Carrara
