La Pêche

19th-century oil painting on canvas, signed M. Murguet (?) in the lower right corner and dated 1887.

A large-scale, poetic landscape rendered with delicate brushwork and a masterful play of light across water and foliage. At the center of the scene, a woman in a wide-brimmed hat sits beneath a tree with a fishing pole in hand. A white house with a red roof appears in the distance, its reflection shimmering in the water below.

Dated to the 1880s, both the painting and its frame are in remarkable condition for their age. The surface retains its original colors, and the artist’s subtle use of texture and tone preserves the quiet serenity of the moment.
