Description: | In this tranquil scene, the only sign of activity comes from the figure on the right, a peasant woman guarding fowls in a field. The greenery, calm waters and beautiful blue sky are all indications of a summer afternoon. The large trees, a common feature in many of Joséphine Bowes' paintings, add an impression of stability and solidity, strongly anchoring this landscape in that sunny day. She may have been inspired to paint this scene by her stays near the forest of Rambouillet, where she spent much time between 1865 and 1869. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; animal (fowls) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bowes, Joséphine (French artist, 1825-1874) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8949... | Go to resource |
