Description: Gouache / Watercolor

With lively, dynamic brushstrokes, French painter Pierre Eugène Montézin depicts a scene of forest workers beneath blossoming trees in this gouache painting. The sketchiness and spontaneity of the work seem to underline the painter's desire to capture the moment of this scene forever. Despite the seemingly quick execution of the work, Montézin succeeded in creating a skilful and sensitive lighting atmosphere and letting the colours of country life shine.
