View of Mont Blanc from Argentière, 1949, oil, signed E. Colliex, Chamonix

  
Oil on panel signed E. View of the Mont-Blanc massif taken from Argentière, in the Chamonix valley. Fir and larch trees standing out against the snow-covered peaks, wooded slopes descending toward a sunlit meadow, pale blue late-summer sky. Dimensions: 22 x 33 cm (panel, without frame) Technique: oil on panel Period: 1949 Inscription on the back, in the artist’s hand: “View of Mont Blanc, from Argentière - 30/9/49”. The work is therefore precisely dated and located by its creator. Slightly worn corners, light surface dirt, visible in the photographs. An open-air study by a painter not listed in public sales databases, offered for its pictorial and decorative quality. The lively brushwork and freshness of the greens make it a pleasant and luminous piece, well suited to a mountain interior or a wall composition. Contractual photographs taken in natural light.
