Oil on cardboard, 22.5x30 cm

The artwork represents a landscape scene set in France, showcasing the natural beauty and characteristics of the French countryside. The composition features elements of the French countryside, such as rolling hills, fields, trees, or other natural features. However, what sets this painting apart is the inclusion of figures. Instead of detailed renderings, the figures are hinted at with pops of color or simplified forms. The vibrant colors and expressive brushwork of the post-impressionistic style evoke emotions and capture the artist's personal interpretation of the landscape.

Born at St.Martin de Re, an island off La Rochelle, on the 26th August 1870, into an artistic family, his father being a sculptor with a studio in Paris.
