Small Antique Painting Oil HSP Barbizon School 19th Century Gilt Wood Frame

  

Hello, I am selling this painting with a height of 20 cm and a width of 30 cm, including the frame. It is a superb oil painting on panel, signed at the bottom right C or L Villain 07 for 1907 (enlargement of the signature on the tenth photo), with a resolutely Impressionist style very similar to some compositions from the 19th century. It depicts the banks of a river, generously adorned with various plants, particularly pink heather, elements bathed in a kind of light blur that gives the scene a unique and particularly silky appearance, inviting to daydream. The composition, despite some wear and tear on the panel here and there, is in good overall condition, as is the frame, and has benefited from a restoration carried out by myself to fix the many paint losses; I also applied a shiny varnish after removing the old one, which enhances the colors while giving reflections depending on the light and viewing angles.

After numerous tests, I realized that the color rendering on the first and fourth photos, with the equipment that I have, is the one that most faithfully reproduces the colors, regardless of the distance, which can be observed in conditions that most people would consider as "normal", providing a good compromise between sufficient light source and nuanced colors without excess - even though in reality the rendering leans slightly more towards green and/or yellow than blue. It is good to know that computer screens or cell phones other than mine, depending on their brightness and contrast, may more or less modify the results I have achieved. With these elements in mind, you can nevertheless consider my photos as sufficiently representative sources of reality, in observation conditions similar to those described above.

Attention to collectors, people attracted to vintage items, curiosities, decorative objects, or simply admirers of their intrinsic beauty! It's a great gift idea. The shipment will be done with care, unless you prefer a hand delivery, which is completely possible if you make the trip.

Also, in order for this to be taken into account, it is imperative, if the cardboard is damaged. Sufficiently (it is up to you to determine upon inspection). And/or opened, even partially, that you ask the delivery person to indicate reservations, if it is a shipment with the Post Office, or that you refuse the package to the personnel at the relay point, if it is a shipment with Mondial Relay, EXCEPT if. You must therefore ask them. You have the option to note reservations.

With the scan box for shipping receipts. Then you can receive the package - before they scan the shipping receipt or perform any other operation to confirm that you have received the package; in other words, ask to check the condition of the cardboard, not omitting any place, in these two cases before they take action. Regarding Mondial Relay, in the event that your refusal to receive is expressed, the package will be kept by the relay point in order to be returned to the expertise service, for verification aiming to report the responsibility of the delivery persons and make the insurance effective (information gathered on their site) in the event that the item is damaged.

Regarding the Post Office, if the delivery is made in your mailbox because the package dimensions allow it, without hand delivery, and the cardboard is damaged sufficiently (a nuance that is up to you to determine), you must return it to the nearest post office to you without opening it, asking the counter staff to return the package to me (information collected on their site), also in anticipation of a check by the delivery service, EXCEPT if, as for the case with Mondial Relay, the post office staff can indicate reservations. In all cases, do not hesitate to take photos of the damaged and/or opened cardboard. It is possible that you may think, for any reason, that the item inside the cardboard remains in perfect condition, despite. (it is up to you to determine upon inspection). And/or opened, even partially, and therefore that you do not ask to make reservations, or that you accept the package if making reservations is not possible; but know that this amounts to playing Russian roulette since the delivery services count on the error factor, which by the way suits them well because, I repeat, the insurance is then no longer effective due to damage caused by the sacred transfer of responsibility from the deliverer to the sender or recipient; less expenses for them therefore since they will not have to pay the insurance amount!

And do not count on a "shake" of the package to determine if the item is broken; unless it is made of glass or ceramic, the sound of breakage is imperceptible, or it could be a protective element in the package. Make sure to communicate all these elements if a third party is to collect the package on your behalf. If you have any questions or would like more photos, do not hesitate to let me know.
