About the Item

Antique French landscape oil painting/figurative oil painting of a woman at the edge of the water by Pierre Garnier, signed in the bottom left P. Garnier. This exceptional figurative painting is an oil on stretched canvas, most likely painted at the end of the 19th century. The canvas is slightly undulating, mostly due to the thicknesses of paint creating a lush piece of art with incredible depth. A woman sits by the river, her hat and the overhanging trees shade her from the sun while she reads her book. Beyond, through the branches of the trees, you can just make out the red clay roof top of a house. In the fore, a bed of clumpy bright green dotted about by the artist nicely grounds the woman in the landscape, where your eye first lands but at the same time, you are drawn to the reflections in the river which adds a peaceful element and where, if you close your eyes, you can just about here the gentle sound of running water... MORE ABOUT THIS PAINTING: Medium: Oil on stretched canvas Overall size: 22.5ins x 19.5ins or 57cms x 49cms Date: Late 1800's Condition: The painting is in overall good antique condition, but you should expect imperfections throughout.

  • Antique French Impressionist Landscape/riverscape by Ernest Gaston Marche
    Located in AIGNAN, FR
    Antique French impressionist riverscape/landscape oil painting on wood board in a gilt frame, unsigned (see below). This is a typical and charming late 19th Century French impressionist oil painting of a woman reading on the bank of a river. This lively landscape interpretation has been deftly applied on a canvas board by the artist using a small couteau and brushes. Some areas of elevation created with impasto thickened oils and dashes of paint give this painting animation. The light travels in from the bottom right to contrast with the dark hues of the thick riverbank vegetation.
