Oil on wood board painting capturing a luminous pastoral scene at dawn with women in traditional European dress tending to their farm duties, a man in a bowler hat, and several farm animals. Painting is encased in a regal gold tone frame with ornate textures and details. Signature appears to read S. Reinoir, but could also be interpreted as S. Reincir or S. Reineir. Genre paintings were largely popular during the 18th and 19th centuries amongst the Bourgeoise and middle class for their intimate and fleeting views into everyday life as opposed to traditional historical and biblical scenes.
