Joseph Million (French 1871–1931) – Peasant Woman and Cows by a Pond, Large Oil on Canvas

A charming early 20th-century oil painting by French artist Joseph Million (1871–1931), depicting a pastoral countryside scene with a peasant woman tending to her herd of cows beside a peaceful pond.

The painting captures a soft, atmospheric rural landscape, with lush trees, distant hills, grazing cattle and beautiful reflections across the water. The delicate, impressionistic brushwork and muted pastel palette give the work a particularly serene and timeless quality.

The painting is signed lower right and retains its original canvas and stretcher. There is some slight traces of natural yellowing varnish and signs of age, consistent with its period, which contribute to its authentic antique character.
