Specialist note

Like Théodore Rousseau, Gabriel Bouret was a pupil of Jean Charles Joseph Rémond (see lot 16) at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. The influence of Rémond can be seen in this composition: the use of a wide open plain in the foreground, offset against a distant but considered horizon line.
