About the Item

Title: Hameau de Loy Riverside Village French Watercolour by Pierre Neveu Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929) Medium: Watercolour on artist paper, unframed Size (H x W): 6 x 8.75 inches Inscribed lower left “Hameau de Loy” Condition: Good overall, colours vibrant, minor edge 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 peaceful and luminous riverside village study by Pierre Neveu (b.1929), titled Hameau de Loy. The work captures a row of traditional French houses reflected in still green waters, framed by slender poplar trees swaying gently in the breeze. Neveu’s loose yet deliberate brushwork and finely drawn architectural lines balance spontaneity with structure — a hallmark of his modern French watercolours. Soft washes of olive, ochre, and violet-grey suggest the filtered light of late afternoon, while the warm terracotta rooftops anchor the scene in earthy familiarity. The rhythm of the trees and their reflections creates a lyrical sense of movement and quiet harmony. Trained at both the École Boulle and the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Neveu was later awarded the Gold Medal of the Salon des Artistes Français in 1994. His works, drawn from decades of plein-air travel through provincial France, reveal a deep affection for rural life and the subtleties of light and atmosphere. Stamped “Champs Élysées par Pierre Neveu”, this piece likely depicts a small hamlet or “hameau” somewhere in the French countryside — possibly near the Loire or Seine — though the exact location “Loy” remains unidentified. It stands as a timeless example of Neveu’s poetic realism: serene, precise, and deeply human in its observation of place.
