The Fisherman

19th century French School of oil on wood signed lower left by Alain Bonnaud (19th-20th century). The artwork is smooth to the touch.

A Barbizon school landscape with light mainly concentrated in the center of the work between the water and the sky. The fisherman's boat is almost obscured in the vegetation where only his net pulls him out of the darkness. The thick vegetation  along the river demands a color palette focused on a wide range of green.
