Original Drawing By Bernard Gantner Dating From 1973

Bernard Gantner (1928-2018)
"Countryside Landscape"

Superb composition in ink and oil pastel signed Bernard Gantner, dating from 1973 in excellent condition.

We are on a favorite subject of the painter, the countryside and small country villages.
I particularly like the color palette of this work and its almost square format which adds originality to the composition.
Format work 38x37
