MORE ABOUT THIS PAINTING: Medium: Oil on board Overall size: 17ins x 15ins or 43cms x 38cms (Approx) Date: 1930's Signed: Leon Garraud (1877-1961) Leon was an artist from Lyon. He had his studio at 3 de la Place Edgar-Quinet and lived on the rue de Seze, a true Lyonnaise. He was a quiet, demure man with a huge admiration for the landscape artist, François-Auguste Ravier (1814-1895) who also come from Lyon. From 1920 -1926 he often sent his work for exhibition to the Societe National des Beaux-Arts in Paris, as did the best artists in France.
