Large French Pastoral Oil on Canvas by Adolphe Marais 1856-1940, H-64 3/8 Inches
About the Item
Measuring over 64 inches tall, this large oil on canvas painting by Adolphe Marais depicts a shepherd and his flock in a clearing of a French forest. A bright blue sky shines overhead, filled with wispy, white clouds. The canopy of trees indicates that it is most likely early autumn, as there are still green leaves present amongst some brown, yellow, and orange foliage. A small stream is visible on the left side of the clearing, meandering towards a small country village seen in the background. The shepherd is clad in turquoise with a brown hat and beige colored cravat and a matching jacket slung over his left shoulder, while his right hand clutches a walking stick fashioned from a tree branch. Numerous sheep surround the man, as a black sheepdog with a long coat stands guard in front of the stream. Some of the sheep are grazing in the lush grass that lines the forest floor. The painting is surrounded by a giltwood frame with a foliate motif border outside of a repeating semi-circular key pattern.
Adolphe Marais was born in Honfleur, France, in 1856. As a youth, Marais met the French painter, Charles-Francois Daubigny, who encouraged him to move to Paris and study painting. Marais heeded his friend’s advice and studied under fellow Frenchmen Georges Busson and Narcissus Berchere, as well as a Belgian painter active in France, Caesar de Cock. Specializing in landscapes and pastoral subjects, Marais was known for his ability to realistically depict animals, specifically cattle.

Large 18th Century French Oil on Canvas Painting Depicting a Hunt Scene
Located in Dallas, TX
This large (110 inches high) oil on canvas painting depicts a successful hunter, with his felled game displayed near his retriever dogs. Our hunter is leaning against a stone pedestal, clad in blue coat and pants with his rifle beneath his right hand. The man is wearing a gold cap with red fabric attached to it and has a sword on his left hip. Three retriever dogs stand to the hunter’s left, while a fourth sits in front of him (the man appears to be motioning to this dog with his left hand).
An orange terra cotta vase adorned with spiral fluting sits on top of a molded plinth at the top of the pedestal. Ivy has begun to wrap around the vase, which also is festooned with green drapery. On a ledge at the base of the pedestal is the felled game: a rabbit and three birds. The hunting display is surrounded by numerous trees and shrubbery. Mountains and a lake can be seen in the background, beneath a blue sky with pink and orange clouds and birds flying.
Based on the size and vertical orientation, the scene was most likely part of a French boiserie room...
