Work signed Cheret representing a landscape depicting a watercourse surrounded by fields and woodwork. Under a cloudy sky, a fisherman stands on the shore. In the foreground, a boat is hidden in the bushes. Concerned about details, the artist creates a work here with soft lighting, playing with shadows and the brightness of the day. Its colors are soothing. A feeling of calm emerges.
Surrounding the canvas, a magnificent frame carved in gilded wood fits perfectly with this bucolic scene. Rich in ornamentation on its four corners, it also presents richly chiseled stylized moldings.
The artist presents here a harmonious and nuanced work immortalizing a rural scene with sensitivity.
Jean-Louis Lachaume de Gaveaux, known as Cheret (1820-1882) born in New Orleans, is the son of a music composer. He became a painter and created numerous sets for performance stages.
