Anthony Avery
Impressionist Watercolor of French Village Scene with Fountain and Boules Player

About the Item

Title: Impressionist Watercolor of French Village Scene with Fountain and Boules Player by Anthony Avery (British 1946-2023) Original watercolor on artists paper, unframed Dimensions: 15 x 11.25 inches (Height x Width) Signed: Yes Condition: Good, with some minor signs of aging. Provenance: from a large collection of this artists work, held in England. Description: This inviting watercolor by Anthony J. Avery (1946-2023) captures the essence of a charming French village square, where local life unfolds around a quaint stone fountain. Set against a warm backdrop of rustic buildings with shuttered windows and ivy-clad walls, the scene highlights Avery’s talent for depicting the subtle, everyday beauty of French life. A group of men gather to play boules, their relaxed postures and casual clothing conveying a sense of camaraderie and leisure, while children curiously watch the game, adding a playful touch. The fountain, with its aged stone structure, stands as the centerpiece of the scene, water gently flowing into a basin. Avery’s delicate brushstrokes capture the play of light and shadow on the cobblestones, as well as the varying textures of the buildings, from the rough stonework to the ivy’s soft greenery. The artist’s muted color palette enhances the timeless quality of the scene, inviting the viewer to linger in this picturesque square and experience a moment of local tradition and culture. This piece encapsulates the relaxed and communal spirit of village life, making it a delightful addition for those who appreciate scenes of French provincial charm and social gatherings in art.
