About the piece
Painted around 1900 by Léon Richet, this oil on canvas captures the quiet charm of the French countryside. Strongly influenced by the Barbizon school, the work features a lush landscape where a peasant woman rests near a thatched cottage, set against an expansive, luminous sky that demonstrates Richet's mastery of light and atmosphere.
