A masterful oil painting depicting a figure in the village by British American artist John Clymer. As an Impressionist painter, he was known for his pastoral landscapes depicting scenes from daily life; notably provincial French towns. He also created numerous views of city life during his stays in Paris. The colors are vibrant yet soft, with a mix of greens, blues, and hints of pink and purple in the foliage and ground, which is reminiscent of Alfred Sisley's plein-air landscapes. This piece is an excellent example of the works produced during the 1950's with use of a rich color pallet and layers of paint giving this work such a stunning representation of country life. The way he uses flecks of light dashed onto the canvas creates a joy for the viewer to experience. This painting is signed by the artist lower right and it comes housed in a beautiful gold tone giltwood frame with linen liner and hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed.
