Alfred Joseph DANNEQUIN (?-1890) – Animated river landscape – Oil on canvas signed – 19th century

Charming signed oil on canvas by Alfred Joseph DANNEQUIN (?-1890), depicting a bucolic landscape traversed by a river with calm waters.

The composition reveals an elegant property bordered by trees, with a small boathouse and several figures quietly animating the scene. On the opposite bank, a seated figure contemplates the landscape, while large trees and poplars stand out against a delicately shaded sky.

The artist favors a palette of greens, browns, and soft blues, offering a peaceful and luminous atmosphere. The treatment of reflections in the water and the depth of the landscape testify to a fine sensibility for 19th-century landscape painting.

Oil on canvas from the 19th century, signed at the bottom right. Dimensions of the work: 35 × 22 cm.

Good overall condition. Presence of a restoration with a reinforcing patch on the back of the canvas and pictorial retouchings.

The work is presented in an elegant antique gilded frame with a foliage decoration, graciously offered. The frame carries no warranty or insurance in case of damage during transport.

A charming work, with delicate tonalities, characteristic of 19th-century French landscape painting.
