About the Item
Title: Menton Street Scene With Palm Tree and Cafe Watercolor
Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929)
Medium: Watercolour and Gouache on artists paper, unframed
Size (H x W): 8.5 x 6.25 inches
Condition: Good overall, with light handling marks and soft edge wear consistent with age. No major tears or losses observed. Faint pencil grid marks visible consistent with the artists workings.
Provenance: From the artist’s studio sale in France; all works by this artist in our collection originate from the artist’s estate.
Description: This expressive watercolor depicts a lively street scene in Menton, the sunlit town on the French Riviera, known for its pastel architecture, palms, and Mediterranean atmosphere. Tall façades rise along a narrow street, their warm peach and ochre tones softened by loose washes and confident ink linework. A palm tree anchors the composition at the centre, reinforcing the coastal southern setting and sense of heat and light.
In the foreground, loosely suggested figures gather around café tables beneath awnings, creating a gentle sense of movement and everyday life without precise detail. The artist uses contrast between deep blue shadows and bright sky to frame the architecture, allowing the buildings to glow against the saturated background. Pencil construction lines remain visible beneath the paint, offering insight into the artist’s working process and adding to the immediacy of the piece.
The handwritten reference to “Menton” confirms the location, grounding the work in place while retaining a spontaneous, observational quality. The overall effect is evocative rather than literal — a memory of place captured through colour, rhythm, and atmosphere rather than strict architectural detail.
