Beautiful oil on board painting by Pierre Laurent Baeschlin (1886 - 1958).
This superb oil on masonite panel offers a peaceful and luminous landscape with nymphéas (water lilies). The soft light envelops the vigorous touch of the artist.
This lush garden, with its body of water, its reeds, and its boat, invites you to daydream and evoke a painting, vibrant and luminous.
The painter found his inspiration in this bucolic landscape, the tones are sustained, and the colors vibrant.
Newly reframed in an elegant gilded carved wood frame and beige fabric liner.
The last pictures show the board before it was reframed.
