The stream at the end of the village.

A tranquil rural moment captured in oil, this 1900s French landscape draws the eye down a still stream flanked by cottage gardens and stone homes with red-tiled roofs. The brushwork is confident and impressionistic, especially in the handling of the water’s reflection and the dappled light along the banks. There’s a softness to the sky and a green lushness to the earth that suggests late spring. Signed “N. Reynier” in the lower right, this piece is painted directly on board without frame, lending it the charm of an artist’s plein air study, likely painted on site in the countryside.
