96 - Henri-Joseph Harpignies (French, 1819-1916) A Shepherd herding his flock within a hilly landscape signed 'H Harpignies' (lower left) oil on panel Unframed: 23.7 x 31.4 cm. (9 5/16 x 12 5/16 in.) Framed: 47.5 x 55.1 cm. (18 11/16 x 21 x 11/16 in.) Property from a Distinguished U.K. Private Collection Harpignies favoured a classical style of landscape painting, placing figures, houses and nature in harmony. Comparison can be made between the present example and his work Landscape in Auvergne (currently in the National Gallery of Art collection, no. 2008.132.1).1 In each work, his handling of nature is often painterly and free, with a particular concentration of the manipulation of light, encouraging the viewer to experience a sense of the outdoors.
