Paul Petit Mid Century French Modernist Figurative Abstract Oil Painting

A charming mid-century modernist interior by French artist Paul Petit, depicting two seated women accompanied by a black and white cat and a small dog resting at their feet.

The figures are constructed through simplified angular forms and strong dark outlines, set against a richly worked palette of turquoise green, mustard yellow, ochre, brown and muted blue. A clock and sparse interior details add narrative interest and create a wonderfully intimate domestic atmosphere.

Painted with expressive, visible brushwork, the composition combines elements of Cubism with the warmth and directness of European naive art. Signed with the artist’s initials lower right and presented in a period Rowley style teak frame.
