La Vallée contemporary painting Condition: The canvas is inAn oil painting on hard carton, from the home and atelier of French artist Ccile Hertz Eyrolles (18751974). The reverse bears the artists atelier stamp. This loosely rendered landscape is painted in broad, expressive strokes and soft pastel tones. The rooftops of houses in the valley are suggested with just a single brush of red, yet the composition holds together with clarity and rhythm the scene becoming more recognizable when viewed at a distance.
