English Oil Painting w/Art Nouveau Frame

A beautiful pairing of Victorian art and a later addition Art Nouveau frame. Featuring a C. 1850s painting of a herder with livestock moving past crumbling ruins in the countryside--a favorite theme in British Romanticism, highlighting Nature and the fleetingness of Time. The frame is a more turn-of-the-century piece, featuring low relieve leaves and berries in a gilt finish.
