Rivière & Ville antique portrait he set up his atelier19th century French School oil on carton. The work has a little texture to the touch. A river and the edge of a town in the distance meet with a balanced luminosity. The brushstrokes are varied in volume and allow the view to gain in relief. The slightly silvery palette goes perfectly with the gilding and missing edges of the old frame. Overall size: 9. 4" x 13. 3" 24cm x 34cm. Size without the frame: 5. 9" x 9. 4" 15cm x 24cm. Country: France.
