Dutch painting from the 19th century, Impressionist landscape

An antique Dutch painting from the second half of the 19th century. This oil on canvas work, retaining its original canvas, depicts an Impressionist landscape featuring a farmer and demonstrates fine painterly skill. It is a modestly sized piece, suitable for antique dealers and collectors; signed "Louis Ludwig" (a signature that is difficult to decipher) at the bottom left, it can be attributed to the Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Henri Louis Ludwig (1856–1925), though it lacks a certificate of authenticity. The painting boasts a beautiful patina, with the artist skillfully rendering the Flemish landscape in the background as distinct and recognizable using only a few strokes. In the foreground, a farmer wearing a cap stands waiting, leaning on a staff beside a tree (see photos). The painting shows minor signs of age but remains mounted on its sturdy original stretcher (see photos). Overall, the work is in good condition.
