Unsigned

A charming French oil on canvas depicting a riverside building with warm ochre walls and a red-tiled roof, its reflection shimmering in the water below. Silhouetted figures line the steps, and trees glow against a soft sky, capturing a moment of peaceful daily life.

This piece dates to approximately 1890–1920, based on several key construction details: the rough wooden stretcher frame, hand-driven nails (rather than machine staples), and uneven, hand-stretched canvas edges — all signs of pre-industrial, artisan mounting techniques typical of the late 19th and very early 20th century.

The painting style leans toward an Impressionist-influenced approach, with visible brushwork, loose figures, and atmospheric effects that recall the regional schools of Normandy or Burgundy, where riverside towns and working waterfronts were popular subjects.

Dimensions: 16 x 13 inches

Styling Tip: This piece brings a touch of romantic, timeworn French charm — it’s beautiful propped on a mantel, layered into a gallery wall, or leaned casually on a console table alongside books and rustic pottery.
