About the Item
Title: Evening Street Scene With Figures and Neon Awning Mediterranean Nocturne Study
Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929)
Medium: Watercolour on artists paper, unframed
Size (H x W): 7.25 x 6.25 inches
Condition: good overall; minor handling to edges and subtle grid marks visible from the artist’s compositional process, colours rich and unfaded.
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 rare and atmospheric nocturne from Pierre Neveu’s Mediterranean period, this watercolour captures the hum of evening life under the saturated glow of streetlights and awnings. Figures drift through the square in loose silhouette — their forms dissolving into the violet and indigo tones of the night air. A luminous yellow storefront or café window provides the focal point, its warmth diffused across the pavement in rhythmic shadows.
The work demonstrates Neveu’s remarkable control of tone and contrast: architectural geometry and human presence coexist through deft compositional framing and expressive wash. His use of a visible pencil grid beneath the paint suggests preparation for a larger canvas or gouache piece, while retaining the immediacy of an observational sketch.
This scene — intimate yet cinematic — encapsulates Neveu’s gift for translating everyday urban moments into vivid studies of light and emotion. It stands apart within his oeuvre as a masterful exploration of the Mediterranean night.

Parisian Street Scene
By Roland Dubuc
Located in London, GB
'Parisian Street Scene', watercolour on art paper, by Roland DuBuc (circa 1970s). This artwork is a delightful depiction of a Parisian street which scales the hill to the neighbourhood of Montmartre, the home of the basilica of Sacré-Cœur. DuBuc's artworks serve as a love letter to the city of Paris and are recognised by his incredibly charming style. The signed artwork is in good overall condition and has been newly framed with anti-reflective glass. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying this listing. Upon request a video of the piece may be provided.
About the Artist: Roland DuBuc (1924-1998), French artist, the sixth of 13 children and son of a construction worker.

During that time he struck up friendships with several artists who gave him advice and taught him techniques of drawing. He moved to other cities later where he met painters including, among others, Fred Pailhès...
