Description: A striking original French architectural study by Bernard Labbe, depicting a tall building facade with a red tiled roof, projecting balcony, shutters and sharply angled walls. The work is executed in watercolour and ink, with the artist combining careful architectural line drawing with expressive colour washes in blue, terracotta, ochre and soft grey. The subject has strong appeal for collectors of French architectural paintings, balcony scenes, town house facades, red roof buildings, urban studies and original mid century works on paper. The composition is unusually vertical and highly graphic, focusing on the dramatic geometry of the building rather than a wider street view. Labbe uses strong ink hatching to define shadow, depth and texture across the tiled roof, stone walling, balcony rails and recessed windows. The red roof and warm brickwork contrast beautifully with the cooler blue washes at the side of the building, giving the work a lively balance between structure and atmosphere. The slightly abstracted background allows the building to stand forward, making the piece both architectural and decorative. Bernard Labbe was based around the Laval and L’Huisserie areas of Mayenne in the Pays de Loire. Many works from this collection bear his atelier stamp and were originally kept within the artist’s studio archive. Labbe exhibited with the Société des Artistes Indépendants from 1951 and was associated with the Centre de Liaison des Artistes Paris from 1982. He also appeared in L’Annuaire National des Beaux Arts from 1970, including French, German and American editions. His exhibitions included Paris, Barcelona, Brussels, New York, Deauville, Aix en Provence, Arles, Avignon and Marseille. This original work reflects Labbe’s strong interest in architecture, perspective and the character of French town buildings. The balcony, roofline, shutters and layered facades give the painting a distinctive sense of place, while the confident use of ink brings energy and precision to the scene. It would appeal particularly to collectors looking for French architectural watercolours...
