Landscape with village.

Drawing, pen and black ink, 12,2 x 19 cm, thick vellum paper, monogr. stamp in lower left corner "TH.R" (sm. brown decolorations in the paper, glue marks on verso).

Stuck under passe-partout.

A subtle landscape drawing with meadows, a large tree and a village in the right background. The drawing is provided with a stamp which was placed on Rousseau's (1812-1867) personal drawings during a major sale on 27-30 April 1868, shortly after his death. Both the paper and drawing style convincingly confirm the attribution to the French landscape painter; who was one of the best-known representatives of the Barbizon school of French landscape painters.
