‘Summer at Vétheuil’
Signed V. Delamere
A beautifully light-filled oil on canvas depicting the picturesque village of Vétheuil on the banks of the River Seine. The composition centres on the sunlit church and clustered houses rising above the water’s edge, while figures gather along the grassy riverbank and small boats drift gently across the reflective surface. Painted in a soft Impressionist manner, the artist uses delicate brushwork and a harmonious palette of warm creams, greens, and blues to capture the tranquillity and charm of a French summer’s day.
