French School Artist, Forest River, Oil Painting on Panel, Early 20th Century

This early 20th-century French oil painting on panel portrays a river running through a lush forest and a path in the foreground. It showcases a gorgeous camaieu of greens that contrasts with the hazy palette of yellow and blue in the background. The elongated branches and foliage are rendered with a soft movement that together with the stillness of the water creates a sumptuously serene atmosphere. This abundant scene is signed by the artist and mounted in a giltwood frame.
