About the Item
Title: Abstract Figurative Interior Still Life With Bottle Flowers and Seated Figure
Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929)
Medium: Watercolour and Gouache on card, unframed
Size (H x W): 4.75 x 4 inches
Condition: Good overall, Light handling marks and soft edge wear consistent with age. Some visible pencil lines and layered washes integral to the composition. No major tears or losses visible.
Provenance: From the artist’s studio sale in France; all works by this artist in our collection originate from the artist’s estate.
Description: This expressive abstract figurative composition by Pierre Neveu is executed in watercolor, gouache, and graphite on artists paper, demonstrating the artist’s confident balance between figuration and abstraction. The scene appears to depict an interior setting, loosely structured around a seated figure and a tabletop arrangement that includes a dark bottle and floral forms. Rather than focusing on precise detail, Neveu uses layered washes, tonal contrasts, and gestural drawing to suggest form, atmosphere, and emotional presence.
The palette is restrained yet rich, combining soft greys, smoky purples, and muted blacks with warmer passages of ochre, rust, and rose. These warmer tones punctuate the composition, guiding the eye through the picture plane and creating subtle spatial relationships between foreground and background. Pencil and charcoal-like marks remain visible beneath the paint layers, reinforcing the sense of process and movement that defines Neveu’s work on paper.
The figure is deliberately ambiguous, emerging from shadow and colour rather than strict outline. This approach reflects Neveu’s post-impressionist sensibility, where mood and structure take precedence over literal representation. The still life elements anchor the composition, offering a quiet domestic counterpoint to the more introspective human presence.
Ideal for collectors of modern French works on paper, abstract figurative painting, or post-impressionist interiors, this piece exemplifies Neveu’s ability to fuse drawing and colour into a unified, expressive whole. Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation, it offers both intimacy and painterly depth.
