Summary:
Paul-Désiré Trouillebert (French, 1829–1900). Oil on canvas depicting a pastoral woodland landscape with slender birch trees rising from a grassy clearing beneath an atmospheric cloud-filled sky. Cattle graze among the rocks and vegetation at right.

Signed “Trouillebert” lower right. The reverse retains an old handwritten identification label reading “Trouillebert (Paul Désiré), né à Paris 1829–1900.” Presented in an elaborate giltwood and composition frame with layered foliate and molded decoration.

Trouillebert was a French painter best known for landscapes, particularly woodland and river scenes influenced by the Barbizon School. Although also active as a portrait and genre painter, his atmospheric landscapes became the most recognized portion of his oeuvre.
