Sèvres framed painting with a pair of sailboats20th century oil painting on wood panel, unsigned, study of "Le Chemin de Sevres" by Corot. Painters often studied famous works by masters to perfect their craft and left them unsigned in honor of the original artist. A romantic and peaceful composition, where the oil paints have been so carefully applied that the brushstrokes are nearly invisible, creating a soft, almost pastel like effect. A man on horseback and a woman on foot approach one another
