Old Painting, Riverbank Landscape with Mules Signed Doigneau

Old painting, Riverbank Landscape with Mules Signed Doigneau. Animated landscape featuring mules or pack mules and figures near a river, oil on panel by Ed Doigneau, a painting that showcases the very particular craftsmanship of this artist, especially in capturing light, notably in the coats of the mules as well as in the foliage of the trees. Ed Doigneau was born in Nemours (Seine-et-Marne) on September 27, 1865, from a bourgeois family.
Initially destined for a military career through the École Polytechnique (class of 1885), he abandoned this path in 1900 to dedicate himself to painting. Oil on wood signed in the lower right, with a small loss on the frame in the upper left corner.
