Medium: Watercolour on artist paper unframed
Size (H x W): 5.25 x 7.5 inches
Signed: Lower right, inscribed 'Menton' lower left

Description: This charming watercolor by Pierre Neveu captures a quiet sunlit street in Menton, the celebrated coastal town on the French Riviera known for its golden light, lush gardens, and pastel-hued architecture. Neveu’s composition leads the viewer down a gently sloping path framed by tall, expressive trees on the right and traditional Mediterranean lamp posts on the left. Beyond the rooftops, blue hills rise softly across the horizon, suggesting the serene landscape that borders the town.
Neveu’s palette blends warm ochres and terracottas with cool sea blues and soft greens, creating a harmonious balance between sunlit facades and shaded foliage. His ink work — delicate yet lively — outlines the winding street, architectural details, and the rhythms of the natural forms around them. The scene feels both intimate and expansive, reflecting the artist’s talent for capturing the everyday poetry of southern French life.
Works inscribed with specific Riviera locations such as Menton are especially appealing to collectors, offering a strong sense of place alongside Neveu’s characteristic immediacy and atmospheric skill.
Unframed and ready for bespoke mounting.
