French Lake Landscape, Signed J. Reneau — Antique Oil on Canvas in Gilt Frame, Early 20th Century

A graceful antique French landscape painted in oil on canvas, signed J. Reneau at lower right. The scene is hushed and reflective: still water beneath a gauzy sky, framed by trees that dissolve softly into the distance.

The artist’s brushwork is loose yet deliberate — impressionistic in spirit, capturing the mood of a fleeting afternoon more than the precision of detail. The surface bears a fine craquelure and the subtle bloom of time; the gilt frame, its original companion, glows with the mellow luster of age.

A quiet and atmospheric work that feels equally at home in a French country interior or a more minimal contemporary space — where its warmth and stillness bring balance.
