Country House Under A Flowering Tree – French School – Signed P. Desvaux

Charming oil on canvas signed P. Desvaux, depicting a tranquil rural scene. In the foreground, a flowering tree stands majestically beside a rural house with walls patinated by time. The balanced and luminous composition evokes the simple pleasures of country life, in a palette of soft greens and soothing blues. The delicate and slightly textured pictorial gesture suggests an impressionist influence. The small touches of color enlivening the ground (probably chickens) reinforce the authenticity of the scene. Carved wooden frame, patinated in sober tones that elegantly underline the softness of the work. Technique: Oil on canvas Signature: Signed lower right "P.
