Raoul Viard (1921-1984) 16"x24" Village by the River c1970 Oil on Canvas Unframed Painting #1RS 60"x36" where he studied under ProfessorsThe Haitian artist Raoul Viard signed this expressive landscape capturing a rustic village nestled among trees, with a flowing river leading the eye through the composition.
