Pierre Vervou, Bucolic Landscape With Stream & Villagers

Pierre Vervou, Bucolic Landscape With Stream & VillagersAn extensive bucolic landscape depicting a rural idyll with a stream, farmhouse and villagers. The artist, Pierre Vervou (1822 1913), is known for his busy little countryside scenes that often include several locals going about their day to day activities. We particularly love the way that every figure here tells a story. In the foreground, you have two older ladies sitting by the stream as they natter about the days events one seems to be using her
