Description
This exceptional watercolor and graphite on paper with tones of greens, ocher and light blues represents a French village observed from the outskirts, created by Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist leader Camille Pissarro. "Scene de Village" focuses on houses partially hidden by greenery where a church steeple is the focal point. This watercolor may have been a preparatory study for an oil painting as Pissarro used graphite to frame the composition and to emphasize the salient parts of the landscape, the steeple, and the path to the village. Housed in a handsome brown wooden frame. Signature in brown ink on lower right: C. Pissarro. Frame size: 27.80"L x 23.75"H x 2"W. Artwork dimensions: 11.40"W x 7.30"H. Certificate of Authenticity included.
