The Couple
20th century oil painting on hard carton in a 20th century giltwood frame.
A tree-lined view in a fluid, rhythmic style, where the trees seem to be blowing in the wind. The paint, applied in tight strokes, creates a vibrating effect in the foliage, reinforced by the verticality of the poplars and the movement of the sky.
In the center, a path opens up among the vegetation. A couple appears in the middle distance: a feminine silhouette in a light dress, and a masculine figure as counterpoint. Their discreet presence humanizes the scene and enhances its depth.
The scene evokes a walk in the countryside, treated with attention to the light, the natural volumes, and the dynamism of the landscape.
A lovely early 20th-century frame contains the painting’s sense of movement and provides a finishing touch to its vegetal palette.
