About the Item

Antique Oil Painting – Rustic Genre Scene Artist: Unidentified Period: 19th Century (Attributed) Medium: Oil on Panel Dimensions: Framed: 44 x 38 cm Artwork: 27 x 20 cm Style: Academic Realism / Romanticism / Genre Painting This charming oil painting on panel captures a playful genre scene, depicting a barefoot young boy enjoying a drink from a rustic bottle while reclining in a natural outdoor setting. The artwork reflects the 19th-century European tradition of genre painting, which often focused on idyllic rural life, innocence, and simple pleasures. The figure’s expressive face, animated pose, and rich, earthy palette contribute to the work’s lively and engaging character. Executed with refined brushwork and warm, atmospheric lighting, the painting aligns with Romantic and Academic Realist styles, reminiscent of works by artists such as Adriaen van Ostade and Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, who frequently depicted lively depictions of peasant children in charming and naturalistic compositions. The contrast between the dark, lush background and the illuminated figure creates a compelling depth and a sense of movement. Illegibly Signed. The painting is set within a beautifully ornate gold-toned frame, enhancing its elegance and historical appeal. This piece would make an excellent addition to any collection of European genre paintings or 19th-century decorative art, offering both a glimpse into past traditions and a timeless celebration of rustic charm.

Announcement in Village Square mid 19th century
Located in Hillsborough, NC
Fine 19th century oil painting of a bustling Austrian/Germanic village with horse, rider and various figures outside an Inn, attributed to Arthur Georg Ramberg (1819-1879), well known for figurative genre paintings. The rider is carrying a bugle, apparently announcing news to the people; men are sitting by the table drinking, one with a raised stein. Women walking by stop to listen, a man carrying a sack has stopped to watch the rider, people are in the Inn doorway, and one is looking out the window. Children pause their playing. The scene is under a large tree beside the Inn; a whole community waiting for news. There is a great deal of detail in the scene, tree and Inn house...
