Conversation by the Haystacks, Ca 1920, Pastoral Landscape, Brittany, Woman Artist French Oil on Canvas

1900 - 1920
Description

A beautiful Brittany landscape with a big sky, in which two women are chatting by the haystacks. Dating from circa 1920, the painting is signed Yvonne Salomon and attributed to the artist and poet Yvonne Salomon (1893-1982). Salomon, born in Rochefort, wrote about her native region, the Aunis, a historical province of France, situated in the north-west of the department of Charente-Maritime. It was a fief of the Duchy of Acquitaine.

Measuring 46 x 55 cm, the painting is presented in a Louis XV style frame. The overall framed size is 60 x 69 cm.

If you like things simple, a narrower frame in natural wood is available as an alternative.

FAQs

French pastoral landscape paintings from this era frequently depict agricultural life, open fields, and regional customs. Influenced by Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, artists captured natural atmospheric light using loose, visible brushstrokes and harmonious earthy colour palettes.

Paintings from the 1920s typically utilise oil pigments bound with linseed oil, applied onto stretched linen or cotton canvas. Artists worked both en plein air and in studios, applying paint in layers or impasto techniques using hog-bristle brushes and palette knives.

Authentic period oil paintings show natural age-related craquelure across the paint surface, consistent oxidisation on the reverse of the canvas, and hand-stretched tacking edges. Artist signatures, gallery labels, and period framing materials also assist in verifying authenticity.

Position the artwork as a focal point above a mantelpiece, console, or sideboard. Accentuate its warm tones by pairing it with neutral wall colours, natural timber furniture, and understated picture lighting to complement both traditional and modern schemes.

Display the painting away from direct sunlight, extreme temperature fluctuations, and high humidity to prevent cracking or warping. Dust the surface gently with a soft dry brush, and consult a professional conservator for cleaning or varnish restoration.
