Beautiful work by the Avignon painter Louis Agricol Montagné which represents an interior scene, most certainly on the artist's property in Pontmartin (Les Angles - Gard).
Artist who is used to depicting scenes in Provence using the watercolor technique, Louis Montagné offers us here a beautiful lively scene in a Provençal interior.

Pupil of Paul Saïn and Cormon, he appeared at the Salon of French Artists from 1901, from which he obtained numerous awards during his participation. He exhibited very early in Avignon at the merchants Kassler and Mouret and during this period produced decorative panels in collaboration with the painter Paul Saïn.
Wounded during the First World War, he lost an eye. This will not prevent him from leading a brilliant career.
He was appointed director of the School of Fine Arts in Avignon from 1920 to 1928.
