Edouard Etchegoyen (20th Century) A House In Ustaritz Painting Basque Country
Artist: Edouard Etchegoyen
Gouache on paper depicting a rural scene from the Basque Country. The landscape is hilly, with abundant vegetation and a few white houses scattered in the background, typical of the Basque countryside. Tall, slender trees structure the background and enhance the sense of depth.
At the center of the composition stands a traditional Basque house of the Labourdin type, identifiable by its light-colored rendered walls, red-painted half-timbering, front gallery, and tiled roof. Agricultural outbuildings are arranged around the main house.
In the foreground, a figure wearing traditional clothing is shown standing, accompanied by a dog. The costume consists of dark trousers, a light-colored shirt, and a beret, characteristic elements of rural Basque attire. A cart and agricultural tools complete the scene.
The composition is simple and well balanced, focused on the architecture. The palette is matte and restrained, dominated by light tones, reds, and greens. The sky occupies a large portion of the image and is treated with broad brushstrokes.
A handwritten inscription on the back of the work reads: “a house in Ustaritz,” allowing the scene to be precisely located.
Ustaritz is a town in the Labourd region, at the heart of the Basque Country, known for its traditional houses and its historical role in Basque institutional life.
The work is signed lower right “Édouard Etchegoyen.”
It is sold with its original frame and is protected under glass.
