About the Item

Title: French Village Street with Tree Shadows Mid Century Watercolour by Pierre Neveu Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929) Medium: Watercolour on artist paper, unframed Size (H x W): 8.5 x 6.25 inches 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: A radiant mid-century French village study by Pierre Neveu (French, b. 1929), capturing a quiet cobbled lane winding towards a sunlit tower beneath a vivid summer sky. The crisp shadows and ochre-toned facades are rendered with fluid precision, revealing Neveu’s architectural training and his painter’s eye for fleeting light. Neveu’s use of transparent washes and fine ink line creates an immediate sense of place — the warmth of stone, the hush of midday, the shimmer of heat rising from the path. The scene feels authentically observed, yet effortlessly composed, balancing structural clarity with expressive looseness. This work encapsulates the spirit of Neveu’s travel sketches from rural France, likely painted en plein air during his mid-century tours of the southern regions. The piece would suit collectors drawn to modern French landscape painting, mid-century architectural art, or elegant interiors that favour atmospheric European scenes. A beautifully composed and evocative watercolour that reflects both the artist’s technical mastery and his poetic sense of light.

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...
