Description: This vibrant mid-20th-century pastel by French artist Anne Marie Migette Perard features a striking depiction of the Château de Bénéauville, a 17th-century estate located in Normandy, France. Nestled among lush green parkland and glowing autumnal trees, the chateau’s elegant façade and signature steep blue slate roof are rendered in soft, light-catching tones. The artist captures the serenity of a sunlit afternoon with painterly warmth and a distinctly Post-Impressionist charm. The scene is brought to life through Perard’s skilled use of pastel, with rich color blending and expressive mark-making that evoke both architectural grandeur and natural beauty. Carefully manicured topiary bushes and winding pink-hued paths lead the viewer’s eye toward the entrance, creating a sense of depth and harmony. The Château de Bénéauville is a well-preserved example of classic French heritage architecture, and artworks depicting such sites are highly desirable among collectors of historical landscapes, travel art, and French cultural heritage. This piece is a wonderful example of Anne Marie Migette Perard’s ability to blend place and emotion into a harmonious composition that feels timeless yet intimate.
