About the Item
Title: French Village Street Scene Possibly Normandy Mid Century Watercolour
Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929)
Medium: Watercolour on artist paper, unframed
Size (H x W): 6.25 x 8.75 inches
Inscribed lower left, possibly reading “Horiey”
Condition: Good overall. Vibrant colour and clear definition with slight surface wear 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: An atmospheric mid-century village study by Pierre Neveu (French, b. 1929), likely depicting a quiet street in northern France. Sunlight glances off whitewashed walls and terracotta roofs, while the loose ink outlines and gestural brushwork capture the immediacy of painting outdoors.
Neveu’s palette of lavender shadows, moss green foliage, and muted red brick evokes the calm of a summer afternoon. His approach balances structure and spontaneity — every mark placed with both confidence and restraint. The faint inscription “Horiey” may indicate the scene’s location, though it could equally be a shorthand note from the artist’s travels.
This work encapsulates Neveu’s signature blend of architectural precision and poetic atmosphere, appealing to collectors who appreciate modern European landscape painting. A beautifully balanced watercolour that speaks of stillness, sunlight, and a fleeting moment observed with care.
