Large Antique French Pastoral Oil Painting by Theodore Levigne, 1883
About the Item
This large pastoral oil painting (nearly 51 inches long) portraying a woman walking among animals, has been signed and dated in the lower right by the artist, “Theo Levigne 1883”. The frame features gilded edges adorned with beading that flank brown cavetto molding.
The scene depicts an early fall day as several trees with yellow and brown leaves line a dirt road leading away from town. A woman wearing a blue dress with a red shawl and white bonnet walks down the rough road. Behind the woman is a black dog, while a pair of cows (one black and white, the other brown and white) can be seen in front. There are at least eight sheep to the side, next to a small pond. In the background, beneath a hazy blue sky, are large gray houses, all multi-storied.
Theodore Levigne was born in 1848 in Noiretable, a small commune in central France. A talented youth, Levigne enrolled at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts at the age of 10. By the age of 15, Levigne had already received his first of many painting prizes. Levigne currently has numerous works on display in public collections throughout France.

- Large 18th Century French Oil on Canvas Painting Depicting a Hunt SceneLocated in Dallas, TXThis large (110 inches high) oil on canvas painting depicts a successful hunter, with his felled game displayed near his retriever dogs. Our hunter is leaning against a stone pedestal, clad in blue coat and pants with his rifle beneath his right hand. The man is wearing a gold cap with red fabric attached to it and has a sword on his left hip. Three retriever dogs stand to the hunter’s left, while a fourth sits in front of him (the man appears to be motioning to this dog with his left hand). An orange terra cotta vase adorned with spiral fluting sits on top of a molded plinth at the top of the pedestal. Ivy has begun to wrap around the vase, which also is festooned with green drapery. On a ledge at the base of the pedestal is the felled game: a rabbit and three birds. The hunting display is surrounded by numerous trees and shrubbery. Mountains and a lake can be seen in the background, beneath a blue sky with pink and orange clouds and birds flying. Based on the size and vertical orientation, the scene was most likely part of a French boiserie room...Category
