About the Item

Title: French Village Landscape Church Trees Ink Drawing Bernard Labbe Original Artist: Bernard Labbe (French, mid 20th century) Medium: Ink and wash on artists paper, unframed Size: 8.25 x 11.75 inches (height x width) Stamp: stamped verso Condition: good overall with light handling marks and minor age-related toning; slight edge wear and soft creasing to corners Provenance: the artists atelier/ studio, France (stamped verso) Description: A light and atmospheric French village landscape by Bernard Labbe, executed in ink with delicate tonal wash. The composition captures a quiet rural setting, with a cluster of buildings and a church tower nestled among tall, slender trees, set against gently rising countryside. Labbe uses fine, economical linework to define architectural forms and tree structures, while soft washes of muted grey and warm brown introduce depth and a subtle sense of light. The vertical rhythm of the trees contrasts with the clustered geometry of the rooftops, creating a balanced and harmonious composition. The scene evokes the character of provincial French villages, particularly in regions such as the Loire Valley and Mayenne, where historic church buildings and tightly grouped houses form the centre of rural life. The understated palette and restrained handling give the work a calm, observational quality, typical of plein air sketching or studio studies based on direct observation. Bernard Labbe was based around Laval and L’Huisserie in the Mayenne region of France. Many works from this collection originate from his studio and bear his atelier stamp, as seen here. Labbe exhibited at the Société des Artistes Indépendants from 1951 and later with the Centre de Liaison des Artistes in Paris, with exhibitions across France and internationally. A charming and versatile original work on paper, well suited to collectors of French landscapes, architectural studies, or understated decorative pieces with a strong sense of place.
