Description
A romantic 1922 French countryside landscape, painted on heavy artist’s board and signed C. Vassil. The scene captures a warm, late-afternoon glow over a quiet rural path, where two figures stroll between fields and the vertical rhythm of wooden hop poles punctuates the horizon. A subject rarely seen in paintings from the Paris markets.
The artist’s use of impasto technique — visible, textural brushstrokes that sculpt light and shadow — lends the work a rustic vitality. Hints of ochre, moss green, and sienna blend under a softly fading sky, evoking that moment when the sun slips low and the air turns golden.
At 14 x 9 inches, this piece displays beautifully on a shelf or easel and brings the tranquil poetry of the French countryside into any space.
The edges of this painting are worn and consistent with the wear of board over 100 years old and unframed.
