Country Scene with Stile is a 1872 oil by Jean François Millet, a Realism work, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
The painting depicts a serene landscape with a wooden stile in the foreground, surrounded by lush greenery and a few trees. In the background, a hill rises, dotted with trees and a few buildings. The sky above is a soft blue with white clouds. The artist has used oil paint to create a sense of depth and texture in the painting. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artists who focus on rural landscapes and everyday life.
