Urbain Huchet (1930 – 2014, French) “Champs de Lavendes en Provence Dans le Midi” (Lavender Fields in Province at Noon) Original watercolor on paper of two people walking in a lavender field growing in the South of France amid the rolling hills and orange topped buildings of Provence. Signed in the lower right. Framed in wood with matting and wood fillet. The image is 5.5 x 8.5 inches, and the overall measurements are 13.75 x 16.5 inches.

Emmanuel Urbain Huchet was an accomplished lithographer in addition to his original water colors and oils on canvas. He traveled extensively and painted the local scenery, but his primary focus was on the landscape of Brittany. Paris is where his largest number of works were produced. At least 300 editions of lithographs have been printed of his works, all produced by the artist himself in different workshops in Paris and Cannes.
