Oil on canvas signed B. Scanoux – Scene of a hunting with pointing dogs - 19th century. Superb oil painting on canvas depicting a hunting scene by a pond. Two pointing dogs (setter/spaniel type) are shown in an attentive posture at the heart of a bright autumn landscape, composed of marshes, birches, and delicately rendered vegetation. The whole conveys a peaceful and naturalistic atmosphere, with a beautiful depiction of the late afternoon light and reflections on the water.
