Antique oil painting, vintage bucolic countryside painting.

Calm and serenity in this old framed bucolic oil painting from the 1907s - figurative painting on linen / cotton canvas frame: bourgeois farm reminiscent of the houses of périgord (central region of france) shaded by trees on the edge of a river with 2 cattle - signed by the artist: f.urbain - june 1907. On the back: 1 hook for wall mounting - 4 new hanging hooks. Total dimensions with frame: 67.5 X 57 cm - thickness approximately 3.5 cm. Internal dimensions: 59 X 49.2 cm. Original oak wood frame - 4 cm wide patinated brass decoration border. Weight of the whole 2.310 kg. Despite these 117 years, this superb painting has kept the liveliness of its colors but note: - the patina of the time passed as much on the canvas as on the brass of the frame - the pronounced cracks on the whole painting - some stains - some lack of paint in the trees... See carefully the photographs. I removed the dirt and dust of the years: the small gray dots that we see are not dirt but wear of the painting - I applied a reversible varnish (retouching varnish) to the painting to stabilize everything. I have another painting signed by the same artist: the two would make a superb duo on a wall of an interior corridor and other, restaurant, castle, guest house...
