About the Item

Oil on canvas signed This oil on canvas by Georges Darel, titled The Hunters and Billy) depicts a quiet rural roadside scene animated by understated human presence. The composition is structured around a country road leading toward the horizon, bordered by dense trees on the right and a solid, characterful building on the left, whose architecture anchors the foreground. At the edge of the building, a small group of hunters gathers informally, accompanied by a dog—Billy—introducing a narrative element that humanizes the landscape. Further along the road, distant figures reinforce the sense of depth and daily rural activity. The scene captures a moment of pause rather than action, emphasizing companionship, routine, and the rhythms of countryside life. The palette is warm and natural, composed of ochres, greens, muted blues, and soft greys. The sky, rendered with textured brushwork, opens the composition and balances the denser masses of architecture and foliage. Darel’s confident, expressive handling of paint—visible in the road surface, vegetation, and clouds—places the work firmly within a modern figurative tradition. This painting exemplifies Darel’s sensitivity to rural settings and narrative detail, combining landscape and genre painting in a timeless, approachable manner. It will appeal to collectors of European modern art, figurative landscapes, and scenes of country life imbued with quiet storytelling.
