Clovis Terraire (1858 – 1931) – Farm With Pond And Ducks – Signed

Charming landscape of Lyon or Beaujolais. We see several white buildings covered in tiles, nestled among the trees. In front, a pond stretches out and on the right in the foreground, a flock of ducks seems ready to jump into it.
The work is signed lower left. It is in very good condition. On the back, there are 2 small restorations, invisible on the front. It is offered in a gilded and carved wooden frame from the 1930s. It is in good general condition, there are some retouches of gilding and a small lack of material, almost invisible, on one of the sides.
