About the Item
Title: Provence Pink House Village Street Scene Woman in Red French Watercolor
Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929)
Medium: Watercolour on artist paper, unframed
Size (H x W): 6.25 x 8.5 inches
Condition: Good overall, with light handling marks and minor natural toning 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: This vibrant French village street scene is an original watercolor and gouache by Post-Impressionist painter Pierre Neveu, capturing the warmth and character of Provence with his signature clarity and luminosity. At the centre of the composition stands a charming pastel-pink townhouse adorned with pale green shutters and topped with warm terracotta roof tiles—architectural details instantly recognisable across Southern France. The striped awning over the ground-floor shop adds a delightful touch of everyday Provençal life, setting the tone for the bustling yet relaxed atmosphere of the scene.
To the left, soft washes of green foliage and the suggestion of a café terrace evoke the shaded village squares typical of the region. Neveu’s loose, expressive brushwork brings life to the setting without overwhelming its peaceful simplicity. In the foreground, a woman dressed in a striking red outfit walks purposefully across the square, introducing a sense of narrative and human presence that anchors the composition and contrasts beautifully with the pastel architecture around her.
The right-hand side of the painting opens onto a narrow lane leading up toward a cluster of orange-roofed houses and tall dark cypress trees—hallmarks of Mediterranean hillside towns and a recurring motif in Neveu’s travel studies. His controlled linework and confident colour harmonies reflect the rigorous training he received at the École Boulle and the École des Beaux-Arts, while his light-filled palette captures the distinctive atmosphere of the South of France.
Ideal for collectors of European village scenes, Post-Impressionist watercolours, or artworks celebrating travel and architectural charm, this piece offers a bright and elegant glimpse of Provence. Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation.
