Description: This expressive watercolor by Pierre Neveu captures a sweeping rural landscape with a cluster of French hilltop houses nestled among lush greenery. Neveu’s distinctive combination of architectural structure and loose impressionistic brushwork brings the scene to life, evoking the quiet harmony of the French countryside. The earthy terracotta rooftops contrast beautifully with the cool greens of the surrounding trees, while a tall tower rises above the village—typical of historic rural communes across central and southern France.
In the distance, rolling fields stretch toward the horizon, painted in warm yellows, soft browns, and muted greens. Neveu masterfully layers these tones to suggest shifting light and open farmland. Above, a dynamic sky filled with blue, lilac, and grey washes introduces a sense of movement, hinting at drifting clouds or an approaching change in weather. The interplay of soft sky colours with the bright foreground landscape gives the work both depth and atmosphere.
Neveu’s training in architectural drafting emerges subtly in the placement of rooftops and village shapes, yet the overall treatment remains fluid and spontaneous, capturing the essence of a landscape observed outdoors. His watercolours often celebrate small villages, historic towers, winding roads, and pastoral scenery—subjects that appeal deeply to collectors of French rural art.
Unframed and ready for custom presentation, this watercolor is an excellent example of Neveu’s ability to balance structure with expressive colour. It is an ideal choice for collectors seeking lyrical European landscape scenes or artwork that brings warmth and serenity into interior spaces.

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...
