Hervé Le Bourdelles
Still-Life Watercolor Painting - French Villa - Pink Roses by the Window

Circa 1970

About the Item

This is a vibrant and expressively rendered still life composition featuring pink roses in exterior setting with a window. The painting demonstrates a loose, spontaneous technique characteristic of mid-20th century watercolor work. The composition is divided between a light, window-like structure on the left and a warmer brown background on the right. The roses are painted in various shades of pink, with deep green foliage rendered in bold, gestural strokes. There's a smaller arrangement of red flowers visible in what appears to be a terracotta pot on the windowsill. The artist has used a combination of controlled and free-flowing watercolor techniques, allowing the medium to create natural bleeds and gradients while maintaining the structural integrity of the composition. The piece shows confident brushwork and a modern approach to floral representation, balancing representational elements with abstract qualities in the treatment of space and form. The work exhibits a fresh, immediate quality that suggests it was painted from direct observation, capturing the natural light and atmosphere of an interior space while focusing on the organic beauty of the roses. The composition successfully combines architectural elements with natural forms, creating an engaging interplay between structure and organic shapes. Original artwork on paper displayed on a white mat with a gold border. Mat fits a standard-sized frame. Archival plastic sleeve and Certificate of Authenticity included. Artwork, 24.5"W x 19"H; mat, 30`"W x 24"H.
