AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Old oil on wooden panel attributed to Adrien Simoneton (1862-1949), depicting the Mont-Blanc range as seen from the Brévent.
Adrien Simoneton is a French painter, decorator and cabinetmaker, notably known for his mountain landscapes and his depictions of the Mont-Blanc massif and the Chamonix region.
The work offers a wide alpine panorama dominated by snowy peaks. A mountain refuge appears in the foreground while the valley and the various reliefs unfold in green, blue, gray and orange tones.
The painting bears at the bottom right a signature that can be read as « Ad Simone ».
An ancient handwritten inscription visible on the reverse reads:
« La chaîne du Mont-Blanc vue du Brévent »
Attribution to Adrien Simoneton is offered with caution due to the subject represented, the composition, the painting technique and the visible signature.
