About the Item

Title: French Village Gathering Scene with Breton Figures and Slate Rooftops By F.T. Roussel Signed: yes Size: 10.75 x 8.75 inches (height x width) Oil painting on board, unframed Condition: The painting is in good condition with expressive texture throughout; minor surface wear and edge scuffing present. Provenance: All the paintings we have for sale by this artist have come from the artists estate and have had no previous owners at all. Description: In this captivating village scene, T.H. Roussel depicts a traditional gathering of Breton townspeople set against the slate rooftops and pastel façades of a charming French square. The work, dated 1899, offers a snapshot of 19th-century rural life in Brittany, known for its distinctive regional costumes and strong community traditions. Figures in traditional dress—including women wearing coifs (lace headpieces) and men in dark garments—are portrayed in soft, impressionistic brushstrokes, their forms blending gently into the sunlit square. The rooftops rise behind them in soft lavender and blue tones, highlighted by warm touches of ochre and coral. Roussel’s use of a restrained yet radiant palette creates a nostalgic atmosphere, capturing both architectural charm and cultural identity. The composition balances historic detail with artistic expression, making this a standout piece for collectors of French regional art, 19th-century village scenes, and works that document everyday European heritage.
