Jules Oury dit Marcel-Lenoir (Montauban 1872 -... Lot n° 35

Young People Under the Trees, ca. 1928 Original oil on canvas 51 x 72 cm Signed lower left Marcel-Lenoir We thank Mrs Marie Ange Namy for having confirmed the authenticity of this work. The artist painted this oil on canvas around 1928. Under a green, idyllic landscape, young people are blossoming and communing in nature. Under a flowering tree, two young women are sitting, wearing long purple and black dresses, conversing, another young woman, kneeling, dressed in a yellow, sunny dress, seems to be meditating, while a youthful, reclining couple, wearing a red dress and ochre tunic, seems to be in love. The painter uses a dotted line for the background.
