French School Oil Painting Children Resting Signed Pierre Villain Impressionism

Original French School oil on board painting depicting two young girls resting in a pastoral landscape. A charming early 20th century impressionist-influenced composition, showing soft, atmospheric brushwork and a naturalistic outdoor setting with additional figures and buildings in the distance. The work is signed lower left “Pierre Villain” (1880–1950) and further inscribed verso. The composition reflects the broader French academic and impressionist tradition of intimate figure studies in rural environments. The painting measures approximately 16 x 13 inches and is presented in an ornate gilt frame measuring about 20 x 16 3/4 inches. Condition shows age-appropriate wear
