About the Item
Title: Riverside Bridge and Red Roofed Houses French Village Watercolor
Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929)
Medium: Watercolour on artist paper, unframed
Size (H x W): 6 x 8.75 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 lyrical watercolor by Pierre Neveu captures a tranquil French village scene centred around a stone bridge spanning a reflective river. Neveu’s expressive technique—combining fluid washes, swift graphite underdrawing, and controlled bursts of colour—gives the work a lightness characteristic of his outdoor studies. The composition features a row of whitewashed houses with deep terracotta roofs, nestled among loosely sketched trees rendered in soft olive greens, golden tones, and muted purples. Their delicate silhouettes create a rhythmic interplay between transparency and form.
The bridge is defined with confident structural lines, contrasted by the soft diffusions of water below, where layered blues and greens suggest subtle movement and shifting reflections. Neveu’s training at the École Boulle and École des Beaux-Arts is evident in the balanced relationship between architecture and landscape: solid stone piers, gestural tree forms, and atmospheric sky harmonise without heaviness.
This landscape evokes small riverside towns found throughout northern and central France—regions where Neveu frequently painted en plein air, observing seasonal light and capturing the immediacy of place. The work’s gentle palette, lively mark-making, and intimate scale make it especially appealing to collectors of French modern watercolor, Post-Impressionist studies, and expressive architectural landscapes.
Ideal for both contemporary and traditional interiors, this is a beautifully characterful example of Neveu’s ability to distil a scene into pure mood and movement.
