Harvest Oil Painting, Eighteenth Century
This oil on canvas painting captures a lively rural harvest scene from the 18th century. The composition depicts various figures engaged in harvesting fruit and flowers. One character balances on a ladder, picking fruit from a tree and holding a basket, while another prepares to catch the fruit or retrieve it if it falls. In the center, an elegant lady and a man hold small bouquets of flowers, adding vibrancy to the scene. The man also holds a rake, adding to the sense of activity.
In the foreground, a wicker basket overflowing with flowers adds a touch of richness, while a terracotta orange tree container is visible to the left. The background features a round castle tower and a stormy sky, with two trees framing the scene. The characters showcase typical 18th-century attire: men in buttoned jackets, silk stockings, and buckled shoes, and women in dresses, corsages, and high-heeled mules. The antique painting is presented in a finely beaded gilded wood frame, reflecting the Louis XVI style, enhancing its historical and aesthetic value.
