This painting, French Farm Scene (oil on canvas, 1861), is in the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond. Joseph Foxworth Cole (1837-1892), or as he signed his paintings J. Foxworth Cole, was born in Maine and educated in Boston. He went to France and studied with Émile Lambinet, among others, 1860-1863, then returned to Boston and set up a studio. He achieved some success along with support from William Morris Hunt. He spent time in France two more times, 1865-1870 and 1872-1877, and exhibited paintings in various salons and exhibitions. Returning home in 1877, he mostly lived at Winchester, Massachusetts. Embracing many of the artistic ideals of the Barbizon School, “Cole adopted a misty, soft-edged style to idealize country lanes, meadows, villages, and farms.” [From the museum placard]
