Charles Landelle is considered to be an important genre, portrait and historical painter from the French school. He travelled widely, moved effortlessly among the higher echelons of society and is best known for his Orientalist works.
He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, as a student of Paul Delaroche, and debuted at the Paris Salon in 1841. Through a combination of skill and a good patronage he received numerous state commissions, and moved in the echelons of high society. His paintings were bought by the French King, the Dutch King and the Emperor Napolean III. He won wide recognition and awards for his works, including Knight of the Legion d’Honneur
After travelling widely in the Orient he became a passionate Orientalist artist, for which he is best known today. His works now appear in many prominent public and private collections throughout the world, including the Louvre, and the Palace of Versailles.

This original oil on panel is signed by the acclaimed artist Charles Landelle in the lower left section. The scene
... shows a young couple in a rural setting, and both are dressed in plain working clothes. The young woman is sitting on a sheaf of hay, whilst a young man sits behind her, gently tickling her with an ear of corn. She puts up her hands in mock defence, smiling and giggling at his endeavours. It is a charming scene, of innocent fun and simple times.
