Specialist note

François Lespinasse has confirmed the authenticity of this painting.

The present work is an example of the artist’s return to painting after suffering serious stroke in the autumn of 1920. More gestural and freer in style than Lebourg’s earlier work, the vibrant colour and expressiveness of this work communicate the artist’s pleasure in portraying the landscape and his desire to create, despite his physical limitations.
