Title: Peaceful French Village Curve with Red Roofs and Tree Pastel Drawing
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Oil pastel on artist paper
Size: 14.5 x 21.25 inches (height x width)
Provenance: Artists estate, France
Condition: Good – strong colour and surface integrity, minor edge wear consistent with age
Description:
This gentle, atmospheric pastel drawing by French modernist Guy Nicod (1923–2021) captures the quiet charm of a rural lane curving softly through a village. The composition is marked by light, fluid strokes of pastel, creating a sense of airiness and calm throughout. A tree with golden foliage rises at the centre, while clusters of red-roofed houses nestle into the landscape on the right-hand side, surrounded by verdant fields and rich greenery.
The road, rendered in soft blues and ochres, guides the viewer’s eye through the image and into the background hills, inviting a sense of journey and narrative. A small house with a red roof and blue window hints at habitation and domestic warmth, while the surrounding open space suggests a village on the quiet edge of day — either early morning or golden-hour evening.
Compared to Nicod’s more angular, Cubist-inspired compositions, this piece feels looser, more intimate, and perhaps more observational in nature. The light touch and blended strokes convey movement and seasonal change, while still maintaining the artist’s characteristic interest in colour harmony and composition.
This work would be especially appealing to collectors seeking scenes of peaceful countryside life, French regional architecture, or landscapes with a nostalgic, painterly feel. It also provides an interesting contrast to Nicod’s more structured, modernist work, offering insight into his broader stylistic range and sensitivity to place.
