Philippe Rouseau - A Valley [c.1860]


Rousseau (1816-1887) is best known as a still life painter, but his earliest submissions to the Salon were all landscapes. This picture was probably based on direct observation of an actual landscape, but the site has not been identified.

[Oil on canvas, 81 x 99.7 cm]
