A midcentury gouache on paper by French painter Alfred Lop-Montel (1898-1971), depicting a Mediterranean landscape with large pine trees enclosed by a fence in the foreground, leading to a rocky hill beyond, beneath a bright blue sky. The composition is rendered in a vivid Mediterranean palette of dark green, ochre and blue, evoking the warmth of the light, the refreshing shade of the trees and the mineral tones of the landscape. Captivating brushwork lends the scene movement, with fine black lines animating the elongated branches of the trees, set in contrast to the broader, painterly passages of colour describing the hill and sky. Signed lower right, glazed under museum glass and presented in a giltwood frame.
An evocative Mediterranean landscape in bright colour.
