Beneath the poplars.

French Landscape Oil Painting in Original Carved Frame.

Painted in soft, natural hues with a textured hand, Sous les Peupliers captures a quiet bend in a French river where poplar trees stretch toward the sky and the water reflects the stillness of the day. The brushwork is impressionistic yet restrained, focused more on atmosphere than detail, with dusky greens, clay reds and pale sky tones blending beautifully into one another.

The original carved wood frame adds history and warmth. Worn and chalky in tone, it complements the landscape without overpowering it and tells a story all its own. There’s a sense of age and honesty here, no overworking, just a fleeting moment, captured with quiet confidence.

Collected in France. One of a kind.
