Rive Gauche
20th-century French school oil painting on a wooden panel, signed Salamon (19th & 20th century), in the lower left corner. The work has a little texture to the touch.
The painting depicts a serene landscape along a river, with figures situated on the left bank and small boats gently moored on the right. The artist employs precise and rapid brushstrokes to craft a lively composition in the foreground, while the sky above is rendered with more vigorous, turbulent strokes, imbuing the scene with a sense of energy and deep emotion. These varying techniques come together to create a layered depth, and peaceful pastoral scene.
