Impressionist painting - dry pastel signed Louis Minet

Hello. I am offering a work signed Louis MINET (1841-1923) representing an autumn landscape in Normandy around 1900. This typical and very representative work of this painter is a lean pastel from the second half of the 19th century. This painting is in perfect condition with its original oak frame and period gilding. The whole has been cleaned, a fixative has been applied (Sennelier), and a new mat has been added. The fully restored frame is very sturdy. The whole is ready to hang. Frame size: 78 cm X 61 cm. Dimensions of the work: 49 X 31.5 cm. Artprice estimate in photo. Émile-Louis Minet (1841-1923) was born in Normandy in Rouen where he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts. He began his career as an interior designer, but his passion for painting won out. He studied with great Parisian painters such as Humbert and Jules Lefebvre, who allowed him to develop his own style. Émile-Louis Minet was a prolific painter, producing a large number of works during his lifetime. He is famous for his paintings of Normandy landscapes, but also painted portraits, still lifes, and genre scenes. He was a member of the Société des Artistes Français and won several awards for his work.
