About the Item

Sunlit French Village Street with Red Roofs and Figures Post Impressionist Style Oil Painting French School, early 20th century signed lower right (indistinct) oil on board, unframed Board: 13 x 9.75 inches Provenance: private collection, France Condition: good overall condition, visible brushwork and minor wear consistent with age Description: A vibrant and characterful French village scene, painted in a lively palette of warm terracotta reds, soft creams and fresh sky blues. The composition captures a narrow street lined with rustic buildings, their sunlit facades and red tiled roofs rendered with confident, textured brushwork. The perspective draws the eye down into the scene, where a small figure sits quietly in the foreground, adding a human element and sense of scale. The buildings are constructed with bold, simplified forms, while the varied colours and broken brushstrokes create a sense of movement and warmth typical of early 20th century French painting influenced by post impressionist traditions. The interplay between light and shadow is handled with sensitivity, with areas of bright sunlight contrasted against deeper, cooler tones. The use of colour is particularly effective, with greens, ochres and reds working together to give the painting both depth and visual energy. From an interior perspective, this is a highly decorative and appealing piece. The warm tones and architectural subject make it well suited to kitchens, hallways or living spaces, particularly in interiors that favour a relaxed, European aesthetic. It brings both colour and narrative into a room without feeling overly formal. Works of this nature are often chosen for their charm and versatility. The combination of subject, colour and painterly execution makes it an easy piece to place, while still retaining enough character to feel considered and authentic.

Letitia Marion Hamilton Irish, (1878-1964) Gateway, Semur Oil on canvas, signed, inscribed on verso 'Gateway, Semur by Letitia Marion Hamilton of Fonthill Palmerstown, Dublin’ Image size: 24 inches x 20 inches Size including frame: 33 inches x 29 inches A lovely painting of the town of Semur-en-Auxois, France by Letitia Marion Hamilton. The work with its airy lightness shows figures outside a grocers shop next to the Guillier Gate showing a glimpse of the central square of the famous medieval town. The use of white pigment in her colours applied in a thick impasto was a trademark of her work. Letitia Marion Hamilton was born in Dunboyne, County Meath on 30 July, 1878, the daughter of Charles Hamilton and Louisa Brooke. She came from a family of famous Irish women artists: her great-grandmother was Caroline Hamilton (1771-1861), her elder sister Eva Hamilton (1876-1960) was also a talented painter, and her cousin Rose Maynard Barton (1856-1929) was a townscape and watercolour artist. The family lived at Hamwood, Dunboyne, Meath in Ireland. She trained at the Metropolitan School of Art, Dublin alongside her sister Eva under Sir William Orpen (1878-1939) before attending the Slade School of Art where she was taught by Sir Frank Brangwyn (1867-1956). She made her debut at the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1909 where she continued to exhibit regularly. In 1912, she was awarded a silver medal by the Dublin school and received another from the Board of Education National Competition. After the death of her father in 1913, she and her family moved to 40 Lower Dominick Street in Dublin, later living at Monasterevin, in Co. Kildare. By 1920, they had relocated to Font Hill in Palmerstown, Dublin. In the same year, Hamilton formed the Society of Dublin Painters together with Paul Henry, his wife Emily Grace Mitchell...
