$3,600

About

Decorate a traditional or eclectic interior with this elegant pair of mid-century French oil on canvas landscapes. Each tall vertical composition depicts a romantic riverside scene with lush trees, misty skies, and small figures in pastoral settings, evoking the charm of 18th- and 19th-century landscape painting while rendered with a softer, more modern hand. The atmospheric scenes feature rich tonal contrasts, earthy greens, ochres, and deep umbers, balanced by silvery skies and dappled light. The scale of the trees and the distant bridges, canoes, and figures lend narrative depth and an immersive quality to the works. Likely produced in France circa 1950–1960, they reflect the enduring influence of the Barbizon and Romantic traditions reinterpreted through a mid-century lens. Both canvases are housed in their original carved and painted giltwood frames with whitewashed foliate detailing. Measuring 24.5 inches wide by 40.5 inches high each, this decorative pair offers classic form and timeless visual appeal. Excellent condition commensurate with age and use.
