Galien-laloue Eugène (1854 – 1941) Alias Reyne - Condé-sur-noireau The Market Place – Gouache

Gouache by Eugène Galien-Laloue, depicting the main square of the village of Condé-sur-Noireau (now Condé-en-Normandie). The Saint Sauveur church dominates the scene, with its wide tiled roofs and small bell tower. At its base stand a few stalls covered with white canvas. A flower seller can be seen in particular. In the foreground, a man and a woman are chatting quietly.

The scene is lively, spirited, very realistic, and delicate.
Signed Ch. Reyne at the bottom right, one of Galien-Laloue's most common pseudonyms.
The work is in very good condition. Framed under a marie-louise and glass, frame from the 1930s, in used condition.
