Rural scene with peasant women and countryside landscape

Period: 19th century

Signed at the bottom right, attributed to “A. Retti”

Pictorial school: Italian

Technique: Oil on canvas, relined

The scene is imbued with a rarefied and suspended atmosphere, where a particular light grants grace and elegance to the depicted elements.

Small, graceful figures, with a neoclassical flavor, animate the foreground: a group of peasant women, accompanied by a child and a dog, engaged in a moment of quiet daily life. In the background, a cow near a fence, a softly shaped haystack, and a rural house blend harmoniously into the natural landscape.
