The Sleeping Canal in the Mist (circa 1930)

French school
Oil on canvas | Period frame

Oil on canvas painting, dating from the 1930s, depicting a canal scene with boats enveloped in mist. The palette uses soft, realistic tones typical of the return to realism in the 1920s-1930s, with an atmospheric quality that evokes a sense of calm and stillness. The atmosphere of the scene is tranquil and slightly dreamlike.

Dimensions:
With frame: 76 x 65 cm
Without frame: 61 x 50 cm

Condition: The painting is in excellent condition, with its original period frame.

On the back of the stretcher, there are pencil markings and numbers, along with an oval stamp, likely from an art supplies store.

faded, the stamp seems to read “Le Foyer Des Artistes,” possibly linked to the city of Toulouse (“Touluse”).
A signature, barely legible, can be seen on the right side of the canvas.
