École Française (XIX-XXe) – Claude Louis Georges Couturi (1858-1918) - Scène de vie rurale sur le chemin du village

Claude Louis Georges COUTURIER (1858-1918)
French School (19th-20th century)
"Rural Life Scene on the Village Path"
signed and dated 10-12 (1910-1912)

A superb and luminous post-impressionist painting created in the early 20th century (circa 1910-1912), depicting a dirt path in the countryside. In the foreground, one can distinguish the silhouettes of a peasant woman wearing a traditional white coif, accompanied by a child walking along the edge of the path. In the background stand village houses of France (Brittany / Normandy?).

The artist brilliantly captures the low-angle light of the end of the day under a nuanced sky with yellow and pinkish reflections.
Signed in the lower left "G. Couturier" and dated "10-12". On the back, the original raw rigid cardboard support features an old handwritten inscription, largely faded by time. The painting is presented in its period black frame with a gilded border.

The artwork is enhanced by a high-quality modern frame, robust and elegant, custom-chosen to emphasize the post-impressionist nuances of the piece. The frame is in pristine condition and lends a superb decorative presence to the painting.
