Antique Oil on Canvas Pierre-Auguste Renoir not copy unique

This rare early painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir depicts a very rural and previously unseen landscape by the artist, possibly a part of southern France. It displays original patterns and is not entirely new in its techniques. The frame is in good condition, crafted using traditional techniques, with gilded and polychrome decoration. It is worthy of a museum collection and impresses all who see it. There is a California Palace of the Legion of Honor certificate certificate verso that notes the name of its then-owner when it was on display at the Legion of Honor palace.
