About the Item

This post-impressionist painting is signed, titled and dated 1955 by the artist, but the signature is difficult to decipher. It is oil on masonite board and is titled “Les Coquelicots”. That translates from French to “The Poppies”. It could be a French painting, certainly likely one by a French artist. The scene is a vast valley summer landscape bathed in bright light. A young mother is leading her daughter through a field of poppies, gathering as they go. Interestingly, a parked car is shown between trees in the short distance. Additionally, their small white pooch is accompanying them on the outing. The artist chose a pleasing summer palette of colors and rendered the scene in a somewhat loose modernist manner that seemingly has a California feel. Perhaps it is in fact California and not France. The brushstrokes are confident and add delightful areas of pinks and yellows among the predominantly soft green landscape. The painting measures 20” x 24” and is in very good recently-cleaned and varnished condition. It is housed in a modernist frame that shows it well. The frame has a wide linen liner within a thin walnut outer frame with overall dimensions 27” x 31”. The vintage quality frame, ca 1970’s, is also in very good condition.. This pretty, traditional painting with a decidedly modernist handling would work well in any interior. It is ready to hang on the wall or placement of your choice.

Fine Impressionist American School Oil on Canvas; Family Picnic or Outing, 1925
Located in Baltimore, MD
This lovely impressionist painting portrays what appears to be a family outing or picnic. There are many beautifully dressed women with their children in a park setting. Oddly, what appears to be missing are men, or their husbands. Perhaps it’s a women’s organization that included their young children. The scene must depict late spring or summer, given the foliage and their beautiful dresses. The colors are bright and cheerful and the late impressionist style is clearly evident. The artist appears to have signed the painting lower left, but it is very difficult to completely decipher. The date, 1925, seems to be clearer. All in all, this work is a one-of-a-kind period painting that will enhance any sophisticated room or setting. The frame is a soft lemon gold period cove frame that may be just a bit older than the work by about 10 years. This work has been recently professionally repaired, cleaned and varnished. Both the painting and the frame are in very good condition. There are a few professional repairs to the canvas, only visible from the patches shown on the backside. The frame has a few minor blemishes here and there, expected with its age. The canvas measures 18” x 22” and the overall framed dimensions are 24 1/2” x 28 1/2”. Visible on the reverse side is a vintage label that reads “Art...
