François-Auguste RAVIER (1814-1895). - Lot 198
François-Auguste RAVIER (1814-1895). Reflections on the water of the weir of the Etang Roche in Morestel. Oil on cardboard on pencil lines. Stamp of the signature in the lower right corner in black, quite thick. 21 cm x 26 cm, at sight. (framed under glass, not faded) A tiny impasto has slightly stuck to the glass (white in the center) This oil painting, streaked with large lines, stripes and crosshatching, light in the sky, or dark in the terrestrial and concrete part of the vegetation and the pond, seems late in the painter's career (circa 1880). Beautiful, pulsating sky. The right side reveals the uncovered brown preparation to signify a large red tree and its antlers. The sun in the center is reflected on the water escaping from the water level of the pond towards the weir, of which we can see the horizontal of the wall on the left of the painting. In the background we recognize the typical rocks of the place called "Roche". Expert : Christine Boyer Thiollier
