About the Item
Title: Café Terrace and Autumn Trees Provence Village Watercolour Study
Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929)
Medium: Watercolour on artists paper, unframed
Size (H x W): 6 x 8.5 inches
Condition: good overall; paper clean and colours vibrant. Slight handling marks at edges consistent with age.
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 vivid plein-air study by Pierre Neveu captures the warm, bustling atmosphere of a southern French café terrace in autumn light. Rendered with fluid confidence, the composition merges dappled tree canopies, sunlit façades, and loose human figures into a single rhythm of colour and movement.
Neveu’s palette here is particularly striking — deep purples and golds layered against ochre walls and flashes of turquoise sky. His brushwork balances immediacy with structure, suggesting architectural form through tone rather than line. The result is both atmospheric and abstracted, evoking not just a place but a moment in time.
This work exemplifies Neveu’s mastery of colour harmony and spontaneous composition. Though unsigned, it belongs stylistically to his Provence and Riviera series, painted during his mid-career explorations of light and leisure in the south of France.

View AllProvence Village Flower Market Scene Watercolour French Post Impressionist
By Pierre Neveu
Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire
Title: Provence Village Flower Market Scene Watercolour French Post Impressionist
Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929)
Medium: Watercolour on artists paper, unframed
Size (H x W): 7 x 5 inches
Condition: Good overall with light handling to the sheet edges and the natural deckle of the paper; colours remain fresh and surface is sound, consistent with age.
Provenance: From the artist’s studio sale in France; all works by this artist in our collection originate from the artist’s estate.
Description: A lively and colourful French market scene by Pierre Neveu, capturing the vibrancy of daily life in a Provençal village square. Executed in expressive watercolour, the composition centres around a tree-shaded market stall surrounded by vivid flower displays in pots and baskets. The artist’s confident brushwork and instinctive sense of colour bring the bustling charm of southern France to life—yellow, crimson, and violet blooms set against the warm ochre tones of sunlit village façades. Hints of figures, awnings, and architectural details evoke the gentle rhythm of a Mediterranean morning. Neveu’s fluid handling of the medium allows the paint to breathe and shimmer, suggesting movement, light, and atmosphere rather than rigid form. This scene is typical of his Post-Impressionist style—combining structure and spontaneity to celebrate the poetry of everyday French life. Collectors of French market paintings...

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...
