Old painting oil on canvas signed, sheep in a sheepfold.

Old oil on canvas, signed "Ch. Hervé" in the bottom right, depicting sheep in a sheepfold, with a hen in the foreground. The work on the wool and straw is particularly well done, with a beautiful pictorial texture and a warm light that stands out against the dark background of the stable. The composition is in the tradition of French animal painting from the late nineteenth century, although the exact date is unknown. The painting measures 65 X 50 centimeters and is presented without a frame, allowing its future owner to choose the framing. Condition: good overall condition for its age, with a beautiful old patina. The canvas shows cracks, small paint losses on the edges and corners, some stains and scratches, as well as wear on the edges of the canvas visible in the photographs. Price negotiable.
