Charles Chardar (1884–1939), Lively Landscape In Provence: A Walker In A Sunlit Grove ​

Title: Walker and His Dog Under the Canopy (or Lively Woodland)

Artist: Charles Chardar (1884–1939)

Medium: Oil on panel

Period: First half of the 20th century (circa 1920–1930)

A superb oil painting on panel depicting a light-drenched woodland landscape, attributed to the French Post-Impressionist painter Charles Chardar.

The composition offers remarkable depth: in the foreground, a sunlit dirt path winds through an avenue of majestic trees whose dense foliage forms a veritable canopy of leaves. A walker wearing a hat, accompanied by his dog, walks along the path toward a luminous vista opening onto a clear horizon.

The work is distinguished by a generous and vibrant brushstroke, applied in thick impasto with a beautiful texture. The color palette, rich in shades of green, ochre, gold, and subtle bluish hues, perfectly captures the play of light and shadow through the branches.

• Medium: Oil on panel.

• Condition: Very good original condition; colors retain their freshness. Slight traces of previous mounting along the edges (visible on the back) that do not affect the artwork.

• Dimensions: (To be completed: e.g., 40 x 30 cm)
