À l'ombre des pins, une huile de Paul Charavel datée 1928

De grands pins parasols dressent leurs troncs tordus et referment au-dessus de la scène leurs frondaisons sombres, comme une voûte. Entre eux s'ouvre une étendue d'eau pâle, sous des montagnes bleues et un ciel traversé de nuées roses et lilas. Au premier plan, sur une prairie blonde, trois petites figures s'attardent à l'ombre, l'une debout en blanc, deux assises en rose. La touche est vive, nourrie, posée par petites facettes. En bas à droite se lit la signature, P. Charavel, suivie de la date. Un cadre doré, sculpté de fleurons aux angles, entoure le panneau.

Paul Charavel naît à Marseille le 2 avril 1877. Élève de Léon Bonnat et d'Albert Maignan aux Beaux-Arts de Paris, il séjourne en Espagne en 1903, puis s'installe près de Saint-Tropez, où il côtoie Paul Signac, Henri Matisse et Albert Marquet. Il peint des paysages et des scènes de baignade. Après la Première Guerre mondiale, il réalise des décors religieux dans l'Aisne, et le Salon des artistes français lui décerne sa médaille d'or en 1927, un an avant la date de ce panneau. Il meurt au Vésinet en 1961. L'œuvre est signée et datée 1928, selon la désignation du marchand.

Tall umbrella pines raise their twisted trunks and close their dark crowns over the scene like a vault. Between them opens a stretch of pale water beneath blue mountains and a sky crossed by pink and lilac clouds. In the foreground, on a blond meadow, three small figures linger in the shade, one standing in white, two seated in pink. The handling is lively and rich, laid in small facets. At lower right the signature reads P. Charavel, followed by the date. A gilt frame, carved with flowerheads at the corners, surrounds the panel.

Paul Charavel was born in Marseille on 2 April 1877. A pupil of Léon Bonnat and Albert Maignan at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, he spent time in Spain in 1903, then settled near Saint-Tropez, where he mixed with Paul Signac, Henri Matisse and Albert Marquet. He painted landscapes and bathing scenes. After the First World War he carried out religious decorative schemes in the Aisne, and in 1927, a year before the date of this panel, the Salon des artistes français awarded him its gold medal. He died in Le Vésinet in 1961. The work is signed and dated 1928, according to the dealer's description.
