depicting a natural landscape, a river scene immersed in nature, conveying serenity. French School.

In the foreground, a stream with water lilies reflects the vegetation and shades of green.

The light filters delicately through the foliage, creating a soft and natural chiaroscuro effect, and

the water reflects the sun's rays and the shadows of the trees.

The antique painting is signed lower left E. René His, a French painter renowned for his landscapes: forests, riverbanks,

ponds, and waterways.

René Charles Edmond His (1877-1960) was born in Colombes, near Paris, and studied under the academic masters Jules Lefebvre,

Henri Biva, Tony Robert-Fleury, and Léon Tanzi. He became a member of the Société des Artistes Français in 1897, earning several

distinctions: honorable mention (1898), third-class medal (1900), and recognition at the Exposition Universelle (1900).

His work adheres more closely to academic and naturalistic traditions than to Impressionism or the avant-garde.

His paintings are held in major museums such as the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes, Musée Boucher de Perthes (Abbeville),

Musée de Cahors, Musée de Charleville, Musée de Constantine, and Musée de Senlis.

The oil painting comes with a beautiful gilded frame from the same period, both frame and canvas carefully and professionally restored.
