Antique Set of Two Framed Pastoral Landscape Engravings with Cattle and Sheep

This is a striking set of two antique engravings, each professionally framed to showcase a distinct yet complementary style of 19th-century European landscape art. These pieces capture the essence of the Barbizon and Hague Schools, two influential art movements that celebrated rural life and natural beauty.

1. "Cattle by a Stream" after Constant Troyon (1810-1865)
This engraving, based on a work by the French master Constant Troyon, is a quintessential example of the Barbizon School. Known for his masterful depictions of animals in landscapes, Troyon was a pioneer of painting directly from nature. This engraving captures his signature style, with a tranquil scene of cattle resting by a stream, rendered in exquisite detail that highlights the serene realism of the French countryside.

2. "Autumn" after Anton Mauve (1838-1888)
A work of quiet beauty, this engraving after Anton Mauve represents the height of the Dutch Hague School. Mauve, a key member of this movement and a mentor to Vincent van Gogh, was celebrated for his soft, melancholic palette and atmospheric scenes of the Dutch lowlands. This print of "Autumn" beautifully conveys his evocative style, with its focus on the muted light, subtle tones of the season and a Shepard guiding his flock of sheep.

Both engravings are presented in matching vintage wood frames, professionally matted and ready to hang. This set is a perfect acquisition for collectors of historical prints, landscape art, or anyone looking to add a touch of timeless, pastoral elegance to their home.

You will receive both framed engravings with the purchase of this listing.
