'Mountain Landscape' by Louise-Jeanne Cottard-Fossey (circa 1950s)

'Mountain Landscape', oil on canvas, by Louise-Jeanne Cottard-Fossey (circa 1950s). A very idyllic, verdant scene depicted by this renown French female artist whose works were created in an era when art was dominated by males. A cabin sits under a rocky crag in a remote region in one of France's mountainous areas. With such a peaceful view, the viewer can slow down, put her feet up and relish the silence and tranquility of the scene. Fresh mountain air and not a human in sight - the painting transports the viewer to a better place and that is a good thing. In good overall condition, the painting is framed and signed by the artist in the lower right hand corner. Upon request a video of the artwork may be provided.
