Les Champs Barbizon stirring ingredients within a terracotta20th century oil painting on hardboard signed Pierre Agns (18981964). The work is named "Corps de ferme" (Farmhouse) and is dated 25 for 1925. This bright and quintessential early 20th century landscape oil painting on wood shows a traditional farm in Brittany. The stone house and barns form an enclosed courtyard the center of rural life. The fields surrounding the farm sweep outward in long, linear bands of color, representing crops in full growth.
