French 19th Century Barbizon Painting “Sheep in Blizzard” signed Gustave Courbet.
 
Beautiful and moody painting in oil on wood board. It is signed in the lower left, “Gustave Courbet”. We, at Clune Antiques Studio, offer this work as School of Courbet. A shepherd and sheep dog watch over a small herd of sheep while weathering a blizzard. It is a masterpiece in color, brushstrokes and composition. Cezanne mentioned, “He (Courbet) painted snow like nobody else“. The painting is in a good antique condition and is housed in a later frame.
