Lavenders in Provence

Urbain Huchet (1930 – 2014, French) “Lavendes en Provence” (Lavenders in Province) Original watercolor landscape features rows of lavender growing in a field in the South of France amid the rolling hills and orange topped buildings of Provence. The work of art is signed in the lower right, titled in pencil in the lower left, 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. (Huchet has created many artistic variations of the lavender fields, a favorite motif of his.)

Emmanuel Urbain Huchet was an accomplished lithographer in addition to his original watercolors 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.
