About the Item
Title: Standing Female Nude with Floral Pattern French Modernist Watercolour Figure
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 sensitively rendered French modernist nude study by Pierre Neveu (French, b. 1929), depicting a standing female figure in a calm, contemplative pose. The composition is delicately balanced, with the model leaning slightly against a dark draped fabric, her form outlined in warm sienna and rose tones. Behind her, loose floral motifs and vertical planes of colour suggest an interior backdrop — an artful combination of observation and abstraction.
This watercolour on artist paper exemplifies Neveu’s refined handling of tone and anatomy. The artist captures both strength and softness in the human form, using minimal linework and gestural washes to evoke volume, weight, and light. The subtle interplay of earthy browns, muted reds, and creamy highlights gives the work a timeless, painterly warmth, while the floral detailing introduces a lyrical, decorative rhythm to the otherwise tranquil scene.
Pierre Neveu, trained at the École Boulle and later Professor of Drawing for the City of Paris, developed a distinctive post-impressionist style that combined academic discipline with modern expressiveness. His lifelong dedication to drawing and composition shines through in works like this, where figure and background merge into a unified poetic whole.
A superb example of 20th-century French figurative watercolour, ideal for collectors seeking expressive studies of the nude or works exploring the harmony between human form and artistic gesture.
