About the Item
Title: Woman with Wine at Sunset French Modernist Watercolor Figure and Landscape
Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929)
Medium: Watercolour on card, unframed
Size (H x W): 4 x 4.75 inches

Description: This atmospheric French modernist watercolour by Pierre Neveu presents a quietly cinematic moment: a woman seated beside a table, overlooking a vast landscape bathed in the muted light of sunset. Neveu’s expressive brushwork and delicate ink outlines create a compelling tension between the figure’s stillness and the richly textured world unfolding beyond the window. The woman—elegant, introspective, and rendered in soft tonal washes—rests her hand near a glass of wine, while a second glass and a bottle on the table suggest company either expected or recently departed. Small clusters of grapes add an evocative note, hinting at themes of leisure, ritual, and rural French life.
The landscape itself unfolds in layered sweeps of yellow, green, rose, and grey, reminiscent of the agricultural plains and sunlit fields of southern France. Neveu allows the watercolour to pool and granulate, creating atmospheric depth that contrasts beautifully with the darker, angular interior framing the figure. This interplay between interior and exterior—quiet contemplation against expansive scenery—is characteristic of Neveu’s ability to merge emotional tone with compositional structure.
A graduate of the École Boulle and École des Beaux-Arts, Neveu became known for his expressive studies, architectural scenes, and vibrant tonal work, later earning the Gold Medal at the Salon des Artistes Français. This piece exemplifies his intuitive grasp of mood, gesture, and colour harmony.
A striking choice for collectors of French modernism, figurative works, or atmospheric interior scenes, this watercolour offers both narrative intrigue and decorative sophistication.
