About the Item
Title: Spanish Hilltop Village with Orange Roofs Trees and Courtyard Watercolour Scene
Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929)
Medium: Watercolour on artist paper, unframed
Size (H x W): 6.5 x 9.75 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 expressive watercolour by Pierre Neveu captures the warmth and character of a traditional Spanish hilltop village, painted with the quick, confident touch that defines his open-air sketches. Neveu uses broad, sunlit washes of terracotta and ochre to describe the cluster of tiled rooftops, while cooler tones in the sky create an atmospheric contrast that suggests shifting Mediterranean weather.
The composition draws the eye along a quiet courtyard lane, flanked by a whitewashed wall and a rustic wooden door. A wrought-iron lantern — rendered with Neveu’s signature ink shorthand — adds a charming architectural detail and reinforces the sense of place. Behind the rooftops, a small bell tower rises into a sky filled with expressive cloud forms, balancing softness with structure.
Neveu’s ink linework plays an important role here: loose, spontaneous, and economical, it gives definition without sacrificing the fluidity of the watercolour. Dense, layered greens frame the left and right edges of the scene, anchoring the composition and evoking the lush vegetation typical of southern European villages.
The result is a highly atmospheric study that feels both intimate and expansive — a moment of stillness captured with immediacy. Collectors familiar with Neveu’s work will recognise his characteristic blend of economy and energy, while those new to his paintings will find an evocative portrayal of Mediterranean architecture and light.
Ideal for collectors of European travel studies, plein-air watercolour, and expressive modern sketchwork.
