About the Item

Title: Paris River Scene with Bridge and Boats French Modernist Watercolour Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929) Medium: Watercolour on artist paper, unframed Size (H x W): 6.75 x 10.25 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: An atmospheric Parisian river scene by Pierre Neveu (French, b. 1929), executed in delicate washes of grey, lilac, and blue. This modernist watercolour captures the quiet poetry of the Seine, with boats moored along the embankment and a bridge arching elegantly across the water — possibly the Pont des Arts or Pont du Carrousel, with the faint silhouette of the Louvre visible beyond. Rendered with Neveu’s characteristic confidence and economy of line, the composition demonstrates his gift for translating architectural rhythm and reflected light into a lyrical visual language. The loose, gestural brushwork and fluid transparency of the watercolour medium evoke both atmosphere and movement, while maintaining a strong underlying structure. Subtle tonal variations in the water’s surface and the soft diffusion of trees and buildings suggest a misty Paris morning — a timeless motif within French modernist painting. Pierre Neveu, educated at the École Boulle in Paris and later Professor of Drawing for the City of Paris, is celebrated for his masterful command of line and light. His urban and landscape studies reflect the enduring influence of the Post-Impressionists, yet possess a distinctly mid-century sensibility — spontaneous, elegant, and quietly expressive. A captivating example of 20th-century French watercolour, ideal for collectors of Parisian cityscapes, modernist river scenes, or works celebrating the atmosphere of the Seine.

Quay by the Bridge in Paris
By Roland Dubuc
Located in London, GB
'Quay by the Bridge in Paris', watercolour on art paper, by Roland Dubuc (circa 1970s-80s). The broad Parisian river Seine divides the city into the left and right banks. The Left Bank, or Rive Gauche is famous for the Latin Quarter while the Right Bank is better known for attractions like Arc de Triomphe, Montmartre, and the Louvre. A trip here simply isn’t complete without a stroll along this romantic river. And a cruise on the Seine or drinks aboard an anchored boat along the quay is a wonderful experience as well. The artist Dubuc created many artworks with the Seine as backdrop. You can have this one right in your living room. In good overall condition, the piece is newly framed and glazed with anti-reflective glass. Upon request a video of the painting may be provided. About the Artist: Roland DuBuc (1924-1998), French artist, the sixth of 13 children and son of a construction worker. The very precariousness of the family's financial situation forced him to go to work at the age of 14. In extreme poverty, he moved to Rouen where he was lodged by the Salvation Army. During that time he struck up friendships with several artists who gave him advice and taught him techniques of drawing. He moved to other cities later where he met painters including, among others, Fred Pailhès...
