Lot Essay


This painting is to be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné on Hubert Robert, currently in preparation by Joseph Baillio and the Wildenstein Institute, who confirm the attribution and date the picture to circa 1800. It has been suggested that the landscape is by another hand, possibly that of Pierre-Henri de Valenciennes, although there is no documentary evidence of collaboration. The figures and cattle are by Robert.
