Refined oil painting on canvas, framed by a gilded and ebonized carved wooden frame. The painting depicts a hilly landscape with a forest, inside which architectures and figures can be glimpsed. At the center is a mill, surrounded by water, with trees and other figures arranged around it. In the foreground are two characters, a man and a woman, engaged in a walk, dressed in finely crafted period clothes, and next to them two dogs. Behind them, on the right, a group of young people engaged in a chat; on the left, more in the distance, you can see two other figures, a man and a woman, also dressed with elegant austerity. In the work, the artist masters the technique of chiaroscuro and a painting of realistic style. This is a valuable painting, able to furnish any environment with taste and refinement. French manufacture from the late 18th century.
