Description: A beautifully expressive landscape by French Post-Impressionist Pierre Neveu, depicting the Provençal hilltop town of Forcalquier through a veil of winter trees and muted sunlight. Executed in watercolour and pen, the work combines lively ink drawing with soft washes of indigo, blue-grey, and pale rose, creating a layered composition that captures the atmosphere of southern France. Neveu’s use of bare tree branches in the foreground adds rhythm and structure, while the hazy silhouette of the medieval citadel rises gently from the hillside beyond.
This painting showcases Neveu’s hallmark style—precise architectural drawing animated by luminous washes of colour and a deep sensitivity to place. Trained at the École Boulle and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Neveu became renowned for his command of light and composition, often depicting the quiet poetry of French towns and landscapes. His mastery lies in the balance between observation and abstraction: the forms are recognisable yet fluid, allowing the viewer to sense both the geometry and emotion of the scene.
Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation, this piece would complement collectors drawn to French regional landscapes, architectural studies, and evocative depictions of Provence. A fine example of 20th-century French watercolour painting, Forcalquier Landscape with Trees and Distant Hilltop Village embodies Neveu’s enduring ability to transform fleeting impressions into elegant, timeless works of art.

Trees in a French Country Landscape. Watercolor.
Located in Cotignac, FR
A French watercolour on paper landscape by Roger Decaux. The work is signed and dated (as yet undeciphered) bottom right. Presented in a wood frame with cut card mount.
A fresh and charming view of trees in a landscape. Decaux has used simple, fluid but strong strokes for this composition. One can feel the influence of 'abstraction of form' that was a part of his later work. The eye is drawn from the trees to the surrounding fields, the touches of colour to the right and then to the silhouette of the hills beyond. The use of watercolour at its best.
Roger DECAUX was born in 1919 in Dombasle sur Meurthe in the Lorraine. He studied art in Paris with Gino Severini and Jan Brusselmans...
