La vie à la campagne – Rural Still Life, 1954

A poetic rural still life depicting a basket filled with tomatoes beside a pair of worn work shoes resting on straw. The composition evokes the quiet rhythm of countryside life, where simple objects tell stories of labor, harvest and everyday gestures.

Painted in 1954 and signed “Nadeval” , the work features a rich, textured brushstroke typical of mid-century European figurative painting. Warm earthy tones (ochres, browns and deep reds) create a soft and intimate atmosphere.

Presented in a large ornate gilt frame, the painting carries both decorative presence and narrative charm. A piece that quietly celebrates the beauty of rural life.
