Afternoon Light

$700.00

20th-century oil painting on hardboard under glass, signed Pierre Agnès (1898–1964) and dated 1920 in the lower left corner. Titled Bord de Seine à la Frette-sur-Seine (Riverbank at La Frette-sur-Seine, Val-d’Oise). Artist’s stamp on reverse.

This striking landscape is framed in bold, expressive greens—Agnès uses color not just to depict nature, but to evoke emotion. The scene captures the peaceful rhythm of the countryside just outside Paris, with a quiet intimacy that speaks to the painter’s deep connection to place.
