AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Atmospheric forest landscape with two elderly people – Merchie Donat (1833–1886) – Oil painting on panel – Circa 19th century
Very charming and atmospheric forest landscape by Merchie Donat, executed in oil on panel. The painting shows an idyllic forest scene with two elderly people on a forest path, subtly placed in a warm, golden-green light that filters through the trees. The composition breathes tranquility, romance, and nostalgia.
The artist has worked with great attention to detail: the layered tree forms, the play of light and shadow, and the natural colors create a strong sense of depth. The small figures give scale and life to the landscape without disturbing the serene atmosphere.
The work is mounted in a beautiful gilded, classical frame that suits the period and style of the painting. On the front there is a nameplate reading 'M. Donat' affixed, on the back you can still find seals from M. Donat.
