Ancient Tree and Sail Boat French 19th Century Realist Landscape Oil on Canvas

19th century
Description

This 19th century painting makes me think of certain works by Corot, in its modernity, and its almost dreamlike quality paired with robust realism.

It captures a fleeting moment. Like a photographic snapshot - or rather, one of those images that a camera took inadvertently, slightly off kilter – it transports us into a landscape with a magnificent tree in the foreground, with a sail boat gliding past on a lake in the background.

Measuring 25.5 x 37 cm, the canvas was slightly reduced in size at the top, then restretched, almost certainly by the artist himself. Most likely a plein air study, this mysterious oil is unsigned, and bears on the verso and old (inventory) number “11”.

In a more recent simple frame, the overall framed size is 32 x 44 cm.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
