item name: French Farmhouse in Twilight

item description:

Although unsigned, this painting is clearly the work of an accomplished artist, as seen in the treatment of the stones in the wall, the spots of red in the flowering hedge, and the carefully observed diffuse light. Most likely a scene from around one of the art colonies in Brittany or Normandy that were popular with French and American painters, although there is an element of the Munich School in this picture.
