19th-Century French Oil Painting by Paul Sevray – Farm Courtyard Scene

This evocative 19th-century oil painting by Paul Sevray beautifully depicts a rustic French farm courtyard, likely in Trun, Normandy. A woman in traditional dress tends to her chores while ducks roam the stone-paved yard surrounded by baskets, barrels, and the soft patina of old stone walls. Muted earth tones and the original giltwood frame bring a sense of warmth and nostalgic charm to this heirloom piece.
 
Handwritten notes on the back detail the painting’s provenance: painted between 1890 and 1900 by Paul Sevray, a physician in Trun, and passed through several generations of his family. Signed in red lower left, this authentic antique is perfect for traditional, country-French, or farmhouse interiors, bringing timeless history to your home.
