Description
Charles-François Daubigny, French 1817-1878- Hillside landscape, with a figure walking along a meadow path; oil on canvas, signed 'Daubigny' (lower left), 19.5 x 29.3 cm. (unframed). Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: Daubigny was a central member of the Barbizon school, alongside figures such as Théodore Rousseau (1812-1867) and Jules Dupré (1811-1889), and, as such, an influential forerunner of the Impressionist movement. Daubigny work is characterised by its embrace of Realism, with the artist often executing his paintings 'en plein air', imparting a sense of movement and spontaneity to his oeuvre. The present windswept, atmospheric landscape resembles a similar painting of the same proportions which sold at Christie's, Paris, on 7 May 2017 (lot 195, €8,500).
