Antique French landscape painting w/ creek & village rooftops 10¼" x 14¼"

This tranquil oil on board painting, signed by the artist as "Rugi," presents a serene French countryside scene, circa 1900. The composition features a softly flowing creek surrounded by verdant fields and pollarded trees, leading to a distant village where rooftops and a church steeple emerge from the landscape. The gentle play of light and shadow evokes a peaceful rural atmosphere. The signature "Rugi" is present in the lower left corner, though the artist remains inconnu (unknown).
