Framed original oil painting on canvas of five children walking on a country path, signed on both front and back by French painter and art teacher Jules-René Hervé (1887-1981). Having learned at the feet of the first Impressionists, Hervé was awarded a gold medal at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1925 and a gold medal at the 1937 World's Fair. His works capture life in Paris and his hometown of Langres, and they are preserved in many museums in France and abroad. This gold- and rust-washed wood frame measures 37" W x 44.5" H x 1.75" D with a 31.5" x 28.5" image area. The back dust cover has been cut away, and a small tallow drop shown on the left front matches the waxy consistency of some back buildup.
