A Provençal Afternoon - Original Oil Painting (5” x 7”)

A Provençal Afternoon — Original Oil Painting (5” x 7”) 

This original 5x7” oil painting evokes the leisurely charm of Provence on a sun-drenched afternoon at La Bastide de Marie. Imagine strolling past ivy-clad walls and settling into a shaded garden terrace, where time slows and conversation lingers over wine and bread. A Provençal Afternoon is a portrait of leisure and beauty—an invitation to pause, savor, and let the rhythms of the day stretch a little longer beneath the Mediterranean light. 

Painted by hand using Geneva oils on linen, this one-of-a-kind work is professionally finished and set in a custom pine floater frame crafted by an experienced American framer. The frame features a clean ¼-inch face moulding and a ¾-inch depth, allowing the painting to sit flush for a sleek, modern profile that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors. 

Frame finishes are available in painted white; espresso gel-stain (“Java”); or natural pine (unfinished). The unfinished option lets the raw character of the wood shine through—or gives you the freedom to apply your own finish to match your home and style. 

Compact and versatile, this painting is perfect for a gallery wall, bedside table, or cozy corner—anywhere you’d like to invite in the warmth and elegance of European afternoons.
