A Country Scene is a 1869 oil by Henri Harpignies, a Barbizon school work, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This painting, "A Country Scene," depicts a serene landscape with a large tree at its center. The tree's branches stretch out towards the left side of the canvas, while its trunk is surrounded by lush green grass. In the background, a few more trees are visible, set against a soft, hazy sky. The artist has used oil paint to bring this peaceful scene to life, with visible brushstrokes adding texture to the painting.
