Title: White French Farmhouse Among Bare Trees with Ploughed Field Pastel Drawing
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)

Description:
This evocative pastel landscape by French artist Guy Nicod (1923–2021) captures the stark elegance of a countryside farmhouse framed by tall, bare trees and flanked by furrowed land. The central white house — complete with arched doorway, red accents, and slate roofing — stands proud and isolated, its architectural simplicity softened by surrounding vegetation and filtered winter light.
In the foreground, a wide ploughed field stretches toward the viewer, its neatly lined rows and scattered tufts of grass suggesting early preparation for planting. Nicod’s confident pastel technique renders the soil in subtle pinks, creams, and browns, while the shadows of the trees stretch diagonally across the terrain, anchoring the composition and adding quiet drama.
Behind the main structure, a cluster of outbuildings, barns, and silos suggest the rhythms of working rural life. The entire scene is bordered by tall, leafless trees rendered in deep graphite blues and purples, rising against a sky of soft teal and muted grey. This subdued palette and open composition evoke a sense of stillness and seasonal transition — likely early spring or late autumn.
With its balanced structure, sensitive use of colour, and subtly modernist aesthetic, this drawing exemplifies Nicod’s ability to bring emotional resonance to architectural and agrarian forms. A perfect piece for collectors of French rural scenes, 20th-century landscape drawings, or works featuring agricultural life with a poetic edge.
