About the piece

Created around 1850 by Firmin Salabert, this oil on cardboard captures the historic 'Griffoul' fountain in Gaillac. The painting beautifully balances the warm, earthy tones of the regional architecture with the lively activity of townspeople and geese, offering a window into mid-19th century French communal life.
