French Painting: Le Mur Jaune (The Yellow Wall), Oil on Canvas; Signed Bruno Dufourmantelle, Titled and Dated (Verso)

The wall is yellow, as promised. Everything in front of it is harder to say.

Le Mur Jaune (The Yellow Wall) is an oil on canvas by Bruno Dufourmantelle (French, b. 1949), from France, about 2002. It is signed, titled and dated on the reverse. A figure seen from behind kneels with head lowered into raised hands. A red and pale drape lifts away to the right as if caught in wind. Dark, tangled forms with flashes of blue and red pile along the floor. To the left, a band of near black cuts straight down the yellow. Seventy-nine inches long and 70.75 high.

The wall offers no comment.
