19th-Century French School Barbizon School Landscape With Fisherman square Frame with various signs ofA wonderfully atmospheric French school landscape depicting a tree lined pond and a seated fisherman. It has a lost in time quality and appears to be a barn find. Its signed L Devedeux, which refers to the great French landscape painter Louis Devedeux (1820 1874). Its unlikely that he painted this so perhaps the artist was a follower. Its certainly from the same period. The painting is housed within a chippy gilded frame with swept foliate decoration.
