L'Aurore nude portrait attributed to Victor Pierre Ménard20th century French school painting on wood. The work is signed and has a bit of texture to the touch. A beautiful landscape painting, that is painted in tonalities according to the light beginning to break at the beginning of the day. The sky is striped in bright orange, a dome is etched in purple silhouette, and a milky sea seems to stretch before us. A lovely piece that both attracts the eye and blends into its surroundings. Overall Size: 9" x 13.
