Le Doyen plant painting wood engraver and illustrator bornVintage Art and French Decor: Oil painting on canvas from the late XXth century French School. We can see a man sitting in a room between a wood stove and a window, looking out. The canvas has beautiful thicknesses to give beautiful volumes to the character. Cold colors absorb light and leave room for shadows and reflections in a realistic result. The spectator feels immersed in the room with the character. "Le Doyen" means "the senior" in French.
