A bold and lyrical abstract composition in gouache by the French painter C. Riboud, executed in a rich palette of vermilion, ochre, cobalt, sage green, and deep aubergine. Interlocking biomorphic and geometric forms — a heart-like red shape, curved yellow and lilac petals, and hard-edged triangular planes — are arranged with confident, gestural brushwork across the sheet, the visible deckled edge of the paper left exposed within the mat.
The composition balances organic curvature against angular structure, recalling the vocabulary of mid-century French abstraction. The opaque, matte quality of the gouache lends density and weight to the color fields, with lively, textured impasto visible in the white and ochre passages, contrasted against smoother, more thinly applied blue-gray passages in the background.
Signed "C. Riboud" in pencil at the lower left. Presented in a gold-tone carved frame with a wide double mat, ready to hang.
