About the Item

Title: Woodland Path Among Pines Provence French Landscape Gouache Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021) Gouache on artist paper, unframed Size: 19.75 x 25.5 inches (height x width) Provenance: Artists estate, France Condition: good overall, with minor creasing and light toning at edges consistent with age Description: This atmospheric French landscape by Guy Nicod captures a tranquil woodland path winding between tall pine trees, painted in expressive layers of gouache. Nicod’s palette of sage and forest greens, warm ochres and soft lavenders evokes the light and vegetation of Provence and the Mediterranean maquis. Loose, modern brushwork builds the canopies while broken passages of light on the track lead the eye into depth, suggesting a favourite plein air walking route at the edge of a village or coastal pine forest. The balanced composition—darker trunks framing a sunlit clearing—makes this an inviting work for country house, cottagecore, or contemporary interior design schemes seeking natural calm and mid-century French charm. Born in 1923, Guy Nicod worked across oil, gouache and watercolour, often celebrating everyday scenes, gardens and rural views with bold colour and rhythmic mark-making. This sheet demonstrates his command of gouache on paper, using opaque and translucent passages to describe foliage, distant haze and textured undergrowth. Collectors of French modernist landscapes will appreciate the combination of painterly spontaneity and clear structure—qualities that make Nicod’s works versatile for display and highly decorative while remaining distinctly fine art. Ideal for hanging above a console or in a reading nook, this signed original offers a restful escape to a sun-dappled forest. It would pair well with other Provençal scenes, coastal pines, or garden subjects from the same period. From the artist’s estate, the work is ready to mount and frame to taste, and would make a thoughtful gift for lovers of French countryside, Provence travel, and nature-inspired art.

Trees in a French Country Landscape. Watercolor.
Located in Cotignac, FR
A French watercolour on paper landscape by Roger Decaux. The work is signed and dated (as yet undeciphered) bottom right. Presented in a wood frame with cut card mount. A fresh and charming view of trees in a landscape. Decaux has used simple, fluid but strong strokes for this composition. One can feel the influence of 'abstraction of form' that was a part of his later work. The eye is drawn from the trees to the surrounding fields, the touches of colour to the right and then to the silhouette of the hills beyond. The use of watercolour at its best. Roger DECAUX was born in 1919 in Dombasle sur Meurthe in the Lorraine. He studied art in Paris with Gino Severini and Jan Brusselmans...
