About the Item
Title: Seated Female Nude by Window French Modernist Watercolour Figure Study
Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929)
Medium: Watercolour on artist paper, unframed
Size (H x W): 9.75 x 6.25 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 elegant and intimate modernist figure study by Pierre Neveu (French, b. 1929), depicting a seated female nude in warm brown and terracotta tones. The model is shown from behind, poised before a softly lit window, her form surrounded by expressive brushwork that blends abstraction with natural observation. The composition captures the sensitivity and balance characteristic of Neveu’s post-impressionist approach, where structure and emotion merge through confident, fluid handling.
Rendered in watercolour on artist paper, the painting combines loose, gestural washes with precise anatomical awareness, echoing the traditions of the École des Beaux-Arts and mid-century French life drawing. The subtle play of light across the figure’s back and the decorative swirls behind her evoke both the physical and the atmospheric, revealing Neveu’s fascination with form, tone, and rhythm.
Pierre Neveu, a graduate of the École Boulle and later Professor of Drawing for the City of Paris, is celebrated for his expressive palette and compositional integrity. His work bridges classical technique and modern sensibility, often exploring themes of intimacy, landscape, and design.
A refined and evocative piece, ideal for collectors of 20th-century French watercolours, figurative art, and post-impressionist studies.
