85. Unknown Artist, Continental School, late 18th/early 19th Century

Landscape with bulls fighting in a stream with a herd of cows nearby. Oil on metal panel, possibly zinc, signature not found; not framed, panel measures approx. 7" x 10". Partial stamp impressed on the back, reads "...le montagne société" and the number 14. This 18th Century-style composition is very well constructed, including the billowing cloud formations and trees blowing in the wind. There is also an indication of a raging fire in the distance at the left, adding to the drama of the scene.
