An adorable retro painting depicting the famous scene from the French nursery rhyme "Il pleut, bergère!" (It's raining, shepherdess!). It shows a young shepherdess in a pink dress, holding a red umbrella in the rain, accompanied by her sheep, while a tree bends in the wind.
Entirely hand-painted on the front of the glass, with delicate colors and clear outlines, this naive decor reflects the craftsmanship of the post-war period. The signature Yvalan is associated with small decorative series inspired by nursery rhymes and childish scenes, produced before the industrial manufacturing of the 1970s.
The original varnished wooden frame, older than the common productions of the 60s and 70s, adds extra charm and confirms the authenticity of the piece.
Perfect for a child's room, a retro kitchen, or a collection of naive paintings, this piece is a tender testimony to a bygone era.
