Vintage Oil Painting La Pêche

                  "Everyone should believe in something. I believe I’ll go fishing.”                                                                      ~ Henry David Thoreau

Recently acquired at auction, we are pleased to offer this original Vintage Framed Oil Painting of two leisurely fishermen. In its original hand-finished frame, the idyllic painting captures a free-spirited, hopeful aesthetic, with two figures deep in reverie over their lines. Depicting the sweet essence and joy of fishing upon the open water, the painting's striking palette of deep browns and dreamy blue greens is punctuated by pops of dark blue and white. The overall scene is crowned by a glowing, golden-hued sky.

Kitted out in short pants and straw hats with simple poles, the optimistic fisher folk have dropped their lines off the wooden pier. Expectant baskets, still empty, await the day's catch. Horizontal brushstrokes throughout the piece convey a sense of the vast and limitless horizon. Sure to become a cherished addition to the cottage, lake house, or library, this enchanting scene promises to spark longing for more carefree days at the shore.

Strictly one-of-a-kind and subject to prior sale. Measures 9.5"W x 6.75"H. In very good vintage condition with gentle signs of age.
