Surroundings of Saint Privé, Yonne

"Surroundings of Saint Privé, Yonne" is an 1886 painting by Henri Harpignies, currently housed in the Southampton City Art Gallery. 



The painting depicts a pastoral landscape. The scene is dominated by a gently rolling green field, with a small pond or stream visible in the middle ground. Several figures, appearing to be a family group, are positioned near the left edge of the painting, observing the scene. In the distance, there are cattle grazing in the field. The sky is a light blue, with some subtle cloud formations. The style is characteristic of Barbizon School painting, with a focus on natural light and the depiction of rural life. The painting's dimensions are 81.2 cm x 60.2 cm.
