Elie Henri Dumont : Large Painting "shore Of A Pond In The Landes"

ElieHenri Dumont (19th/20th century) : “Pond Shore in the Landes,” oilon canvas, 73 x 100 cm, mounted in a superb molded oak frame, 89 x 116 cm.
Circa 1910–1920, damage and restorations, craquelure throughout theentire painting.
And to think I’ve been telling myself for months that I need to getthat frame recut for this painting ! If only I’d brought it in, I would have realized that it was already the right size…
I’ve chosen to present this large painting to you just as I found it, in itsoriginal condition, but its brilliance and the luminosity of the composition givea glimpse of what it will look like once it’s prepared.
The palette blending bronze green with Veronese blue, the many shades of the sky composed of small, blended multicolored brushstrokes, and that clearing among the pines overlooking the tranquil expanse will captivate lovers of the Landes region.
While little is known about this artist from Bordeaux, his work is not without resemblance to another artist from the Gironde region, with its slightly Divisionist touch and palette: Pierre Gaston Rigaud.
