Description
This small but soulful oil on board invites you into a quiet woodland path bathed in the mellow light of autumn. The artist, G. Derville, worked in the intimate plein-air tradition, layering dappled brushwork to suggest the rustle of leaves and the filtered glow through the forest canopy.
Executed with a confident hand and a warm palette of ochre, green, and sienna, the scene captures that fleeting, golden stillness found only in early fall. Its small scale and rich impasto give it the intimacy of a painter’s personal study — the kind of work one might imagine resting on an easel beside a window in a countryside atelier.
The piece is painted directly on board, giving the surface a subtle texture and preserving the artist’s spontaneous marks. A wonderful example of inter-war French regional art, perfect for adding a note of serenity and authenticity to your gallery wall.
