Signed Antique French Landscape Oil Painting with Olive Trees & Ruin, c. 1890

This signed oil-on-canvas painting captures the timeless serenity of the Provençal countryside, likely painted circa 1890. A group of three expressive olive trees anchors the composition, set against a lush, layered backdrop of forest, distant mountains, and a softly crumbling pink-hued tower ruin. The brushwork is confident yet impressionistic, blending fine detailing with painterly texture. The artist’s signature, F. Leblanc, appears in the lower left corner. The painting is housed in its original carved giltwood frame, showing age-appropriate wear with beautiful patina. On the reverse is a stamp from a Marseille art supplier, confirming French origin. This piece is ideal for collectors seeking an heirloom-quality work of art with authentic French roots.
