Expressionist figurative oil painting "Along the Canal" by Jean-Pierre Couprie, 1980. France. Oil on canvas signed Couprie, 20th-century French school, depicting a cobbled quay lined with old houses overlooking a river bustling with boats. The texture is worked in thick paste (impasto), giving a lot of relief to the cobblestones, the sky, and the reflections in the water. Warm palette and slightly misty atmosphere evoke a port scene in the early morning or at the end of the day. Large decorative composition, ready to hang with its gilded frame, ideal for a living room, office, or entrance hall.
