Title: Mid Century French Original Pastel Drawing Sunlit Landscape with Iron Gate Artist: Josine Vignon (French 1922-2022) Medium: Oil Pastel on artist paper Size: 19.25 (height) x 25.25 (width) Signed: Yes Condition: Good Provenance: All the paintings we have by this artist have come from the artist’s estate Description: This drawing captures a peaceful rural scene bathed in sunlight. The composition features a small iron gate nestled between trees, which cast dappled shadows across the grassy landscape. The bright green fields extend into the distance, where rolling hills are faintly visible under a clear blue sky. The sunlight streaming through the leaves brings warmth to the scene, and the soft colors of the grass and foliage create a serene and welcoming atmosphere. Vignon’s detailed oil pastel strokes provide depth and texture to the scene, particularly in the rendering of the trees and the play of light on the ground. The iron gate serves as a focal point, inviting the viewer into the open landscape beyond. The vibrant mix of greens, yellows, and blues evokes the peaceful beauty of a sunny afternoon in the countryside.
