This evocative oil on canvas, signed by an artist identified as "C. Raymond" but considered artist inconnu (unknown artist), captures the serene beauty of a quaint French village around 1900. The composition features a peaceful street scene with rustic village houses, their warm ochre tones and terracotta roofs glowing in the afternoon light. A large tree provides partial shade, adding contrast and depth to the scene. The artist's delicate brushwork and use of color bring to life the quiet charm of rural French life. The signature is visible in the lower right corner.
