Mireille Richefort - Oil On Canvas

Very pretty oil on canvas by Mireille Richefort, a French painter based in Narbonne, dedicated to naive art. Signed lower left. Dimensions with frame: 80X80cm Small cut at the bottom right, almost imperceptible, otherwise good general condition. Mireille Richefort attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Nancy and the Ecole des Arts Déco in Nice. She devoted herself to naive art, painting scenes of grape harvests, weddings in villages, crowds at local markets, the Narbonne carnival, and pétanque games. Her oils and watercolors abound with characters in amusing and very colorful attitudes. She exhibited for forty years in her native region (the South-West) but also in Paris. She won numerous awards. She had been solicited a little before her death at the World Naive Art Festival in Katowice, Poland.
