Mid-Century French Wood Relief Signed Remy – Carved Walnut Artist Panel

A masterful mid-century wood carving celebrating the art of creation.
This striking bas-relief carved in solid walnut depicts an artist seated at his easel, sketching from life. Behind him, a framed nude seen from the back adds a poetic and timeless note to the composition.
Signed Remy, this one-of-a-kind piece reveals the refined craftsmanship and human sensibility of mid-20th-century French sculpture.

Every detail is rendered with care — from the folds of the painter’s jacket to the textures of his chair and drawing boards. The depth of the carving, the warmth of the walnut grain, and the play of light across the relief create a captivating sense of life and movement.

A true celebration of artistic passion, perfectly balancing realism and stylized simplicity typical of the 1950s–1960s modernist era.
