Untitled (mid-century boat scene)

Pierre Palué

The Work

I discovered this piece on Facebook Marketplace and was immediately drawn to its mid-century charm and the serene boat scene. The soft pinks and tranquil atmosphere resonated with me, prompting the decision to acquire it. The artwork was framed with a mid-century aesthetic in mind, featuring a linen slip, an oak mid-frame, and a walnut-stained oak float frame to complement the piece.

Framing

The framing was chosen to enhance the mid-century appeal of the painting. The linen slip adds texture, while the oak mid-frame and walnut-stained float frame provide a harmonious balance, allowing the artwork to stand out without overwhelming the space.
