Claude Michel Hamon Duplessis (French, 1722-1802), a pair of 18th century oil on panel landscape paintings each depicting travelers and villagers progressing along a winding road set within an expansive pastoral setting. The compositions feature classical architecture and distant aqueducts rising along the horizon, evoking an idealized Arcadian vision characteristic of French landscape painting of the period. Figures in animated conversation and daily activity enliven the foregrounds, while carefully balanced light and atmospheric perspective guide the eye toward the architectural vistas beyond. Both paintings are presented in ornate giltwood frames with name plaques inscribed C Michel H Duplessis XVIIIe Siecle. Retain red seal remnants on the verso. Provenance South American collection.
