Antique French landscape oil painting study with deer

Antique French landscape oil painting study with deer in the foreground at sunset. French, circa 1890-1900. Oil on canvas. Gilt frame (more modern). Signed by the artist but tricky to decipher signature. Size of frame: 17 x 16 inches; Size of canvas: 15 x 14.25 canvas; Size of front painting aperture: 14.5 x 13.5 inches Weight: 1.7 kg (allow 4 kg volumetric weight once packed). Condition commensurate with age - various superficial marks & scratches and some minor knocks to frame but all part of its charm and character. Priced accordingly.
