A charming 19th-century French pastoral oil painting depicting a barefoot shepherd boy serenading a young milkmaid, set within an exquisitely detailed Rococo gilt frame. The composition captures the tender simplicity of rural life, echoing the sentimental realism popular in France during the mid-to-late 1800s.

The hand-carved and gilded frame—with acanthus scrolls, floral flourishes, and dramatic corner reliefs—complements the intimacy of the scene. Areas of age-related wear and craquelure on the frame and surface testify to its authenticity and history.

Details:

  • Era: 19th century, likely French School

  • Medium: Oil on canvas

  • Frame: Ornate Rococo giltwood frame

  • Condition: Overall good antique condition with expected wear and minor frame losses (see photos)

  • Dimensions: 19” x 15”

An evocative piece for collectors of European genre paintings, this work adds warmth and romance to any parlor, study, or gallery wall.
