École française du XXe siècle - Village aux toits rouges

20th-Century School — Village with Red Roofs

Technique: Oil on canvas.

Dimensions of the work: 46 cm high × 65 cm wide.

Light-colored houses with red roofs punctuate a wooded hillside under a sky heavy with clouds. The posts/pickets in the foreground guide the eye toward the village, while the dark mass of trees on the right closes the composition. The thick brushstrokes of the sky and vegetation contrast with the small red notes of the roofs. The loose handling and the color accents animate the rural landscape.

Stylistic markers
