What kind of painting style does Julian Villeneuve's Woman with a pitcher show?

Julian Villenave's Woman Holding a Water Tank is obviously a typical classical oil painting. The characters and pictures are specially arranged according to the rules of classical painting. If the shadow on the diagonal at the lower right cuts off the picture, we can see that oil painting will never be treated so mechanically, but photography can often tolerate this naturalism or small "flaws" used to distinguish painting. This may be an intermediate state between photography and painting.
