Oil on panel h. bassard

An old oil on panel in a figurative style by the French painter H. Bassard from the late 19th to early 20th century. It represents the sweetness of life in the old districts of the town of Annecy, located in Haute-Savoie in the Alps. The painter captures a scene of life among passers-by from the early last century. One can discover the houses and shops connected by bridges along the canal that runs through the old quarters. In the background, the old prison, a church, and the surrounding mountains (here, the Semnoz) are distinguishable. Dimensions with the gilded wooden frame: 54 X 39 cm. Without frame: 45 X 30 cm. Normal wear due to its age.
