About the Item
Title: Rural Landscape with Church Spires and Fields Watercolour
Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929)
Medium: Watercolour and Gouache on card, unframed
Size (H x W): 5 x 14.25 inches
Signed bottom right, inscription ambiguous
Condition: Good overall, with light handling marks and soft edge wear consistent with age. No major tears or losses observed.
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 watercolour depicts a gently rolling rural landscape, animated by loose, energetic line work and layered washes of green, ochre, and soft blues. Two church spires rise above low rooftops and hedgerows, anchoring the composition and lending a quiet sense of settlement within the wider countryside.
The foreground fields are suggested through rapid pen marks and translucent colour, giving the scene movement and atmosphere rather than strict topographical detail. The artist’s approach prioritises rhythm and mood, with sketch-like marks weaving through areas of wet-on-wet colour to evoke the textures of farmland and vegetation.
An inscription on the sheet appears to read “Ballnoun”, though this does not correspond clearly to a known location. In the absence of firm evidence, the work is best understood as a general rural scene rather than a depiction of a specific place. The composition and architectural forms suggest a European countryside setting, but no definitive attribution is made.
Executed in watercolour with pen, the piece reflects a confident, observational style, balancing structure and spontaneity, and capturing the character of a lived-in landscape rather than a literal view.

Roger DECAUX was born in 1919 in Dombasle sur Meurthe in the Lorraine. He studied art in Paris with Gino Severini and Jan Brusselmans...
