André Verger (1912-1990) - Cours d’eau dans un sous-bois.

André VERGER (1912-1990) – Watercourse in a Woodland – Oil on canvas signed

This landscape composition depicts a peaceful watercourse winding through lush vegetation. A small dark boat rests on the water, while the trees and foliage form a natural vault letting through a few touches of light in the background.

The artist favors a deep palette of greens, dark blues, and earthy tones, creating an intimate and mysterious atmosphere. The contrasts between shadowed areas and daylight openings add beautiful depth to the composition.

The painterly touch, free and expressive, reveals an interesting handling of material and impasto. The reflections in the water and the spontaneous treatment of the vegetation give the whole a lively and authentic character.

The work is signed bottom right and presented in its antique frame.
