Charming vertical rectangle ideal french landscape painting, painted in oil on canvas depicting a small village at the banks of a river, the forefront showing wooden brigde which is crossed by a peasant and his dog who is heading towards a midieval abbey on the left bank of the river. On the right edge of the painting a large oak tree frames the scene, in the background a mountain range rises. The painting comes without a frame.
Due to its slightly naive view the painting is attributable to a landscape painter of the French southern provinces.
