“Autumn Landscape in Lyon”, c.1930, gouache, chalk and thin oil paint on a pale red-ochre coloured cardboard panel, pencil-signed at lower right.

Size: (panel) 24 x 32.9 cm.

Condition: a well-preserved painting with minor dustiness and sight rounding of the corners, but without tears, holes or significant stains.

I am selling this mist shrouded landscape—I was advised by the French dealer from whom I purchased this interesting curved topped panel that the scene shows Autumn in Lyon and so the hint of snow and winter stripped trees has me wondering about the weather in Lyon during Autumn … the view looks freezing!— for the total cost of AU$304 (currently US$205.28/EUR187.63/GBP157.08 at the time of posting this listing) including Express Mail (EMS) postage and handling to anywhere in the world, but not (of course) any import duties/taxes imposed by some countries. Note that payment is in Australian dollars (AU$304) as this is my currency.

If you are interested in purchasing this softy beautiful landscape painted with creative invention and an insightful eye—note in particular the artist’s placement of the patch of light in the sky at right and the halo of light in the sky around the corner of the building that I see as illuminating the scene perfectly—please contact me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will send you a PayPal invoice to make the payment easy.
