Yvon Masse (1892-1957) Watercolor “a Lively Street”

This glazed watercolor depicts a lively street scene, with traditional architecture, arches, and facades in warm tones reminiscent of the south of France or Italy. I would lean toward a village in the Basque country. We can see figures in dark and colorful clothing, bringing the composition to life. Regarding Yvon Massé, he is a French painter (1892-1957), known for his landscapes and urban scenes, particularly in the southwest of France and Spain. He worked in both oils and watercolors, with a particular sensitivity to light and picturesque atmospheres. This work is in keeping with his style, with a fluid and atmospheric approach typical of watercolors. It evokes a market scene or a busy passageway in an old town, with a play of shadows and textures on the cobblestone ground. signed lower right Size 33 x 29 cmSize of the work 25 x 21 cmwooden frame in very good condition
