About the piece

Painted in 1872, Giovanni Boldini's 'In the Countryside' captures a moment of quiet rural life. The composition features a woman holding an infant, a playful white dog, and a toddler on the grass, set against a backdrop of orchard trees and a soft, cloud-filled sky. Boldini's characteristic fluid technique is already evident in this early work, lending a sense of movement and air to the scene.
