Framed and signed wooden panel showing a summer landscape with a farmstead in the distant trees. The painting is signed by the Belgium artist, Theodore Baron. It is mounted in an quality 19th century dark gilt frame.

Théodore Baron (19 August 1840 – 4 September 1899) was a Belgian painter, best known for his realistic landscapes. Following the example of the French-educated Belgian painter Alfred de Knyff (1819-1886), Baron adopted an austere, wintry style of landscape painting with a dull colour palette, called 'mode gris' by his contemporaries. In 1868 Baron became one of the founding members of the Société Libre des Beaux-Arts, formed to react against the Belgian version of academicism and to advance Realist painting and artistic freedom.

Among Baron's students were Isidore Verheyden and Hippolyte de la Charlerie. In 1913 a street in Auderghem was named in his honor. There is a famous statue of Baron with a hat in his hand at Numur by Charles-Pierre Van der Stappen.
