Description: A quietly atmospheric French countryside landscape by Pierre Neveu (b.1929), this original watercolour and gouache study captures a solitary tree standing in the heart of a sunlit valley, with gentle hills receding into the misty background. Neveu’s delicate layering of translucent colour creates a sense of early morning stillness, where light filters softly through branches and settles over the surrounding fields.
Rendered with fluid, expressive brushwork, the painting demonstrates Neveu’s characteristic sensitivity to composition and tone. The lone tree, painted in deep greens and muted blues, becomes a natural focal point—its vertical presence contrasting with the sweeping horizontals of the valley and distant slopes. The artist’s mastery of gouache gives the scene structure and depth, while maintaining the spontaneity of plein air observation.
This work evokes the landscapes of rural France—possibly inspired by the pastoral valleys of the Loire or the gentle foothills of the Pyrenees—where Neveu often painted on location. His use of light and atmospheric tone recalls the influence of French modernist landscape painters such as Brianchon and Dufy, with whom he shared a commitment to both realism and rhythm.
Pierre Neveu studied at the École Boulle and the National School of Fine Arts in Paris, later becoming Professor of Drawing for the City of Paris. He exhibited at the Salon d’Automne and the Salon des Artistes Français, receiving the Gold Medal in 1994.
Collected directly from the artist’s estate, this work offers a lyrical example of mid-century French watercolour painting—ideal for collectors drawn to natural landscapes, plein air techniques, and serene modernist design.

Trees in a French Country Landscape. Watercolor.
Located in Cotignac, FR
A French watercolour on paper landscape by Roger Decaux. The work is signed and dated (as yet undeciphered) bottom right. Presented in a wood frame with cut card mount.
A fresh and charming view of trees in a landscape. Decaux has used simple, fluid but strong strokes for this composition. One can feel the influence of 'abstraction of form' that was a part of his later work. The eye is drawn from the trees to the surrounding fields, the touches of colour to the right and then to the silhouette of the hills beyond. The use of watercolour at its best.
Roger DECAUX was born in 1919 in Dombasle sur Meurthe in the Lorraine. He studied art in Paris with Gino Severini and Jan Brusselmans...
