English Pastoral Style Landscape Painting of Cattle

A stunning and evocative large-scale pastoral landscape, executed in oil on canvas. This piece captures a tranquil, bucolic scene reminiscent of the 19th-century English Pastoral or French Barbizon schools. A small herd of cattle is depicted grazing and wading in a gentle river at dawn. The artist employs a masterful use of atmospheric perspective, with mature trees receding into a soft, misty haze. The palette is a sophisticated blend of rich earth tones, soft greens, and a luminous, light-filled sky, creating a palpable sense of peace and golden hour light. The painting is signed in the lower right corner Durnall. This work is presented in a magnificent, deeply carved gilt frame. The ornate, wide-profile frame features a repeating acanthus leaf and C-scroll motif, adding a sense of history and grandeur to the piece. This is not just a painting but a complete decorative statement, perfect as an overmantel piece, in a traditional study, or as a grounding focal point for an English Country or Grandmillenial style interior. Excellent vintage condition. The canvas is clean, vibrant, and free of damage. The gilt frame is robust and in wonderful condition, with all decorative moulding intact. Ready to hang.
