Much of Claire's work around landscape painting was highly influenced by the Barbizon movement. He was a regular exhibitor at the Salon des Artists Francais and he became a full member in 1913. It was in depicting pastoral landscapes with shepherds or shepherdesses and their flocks that he was most at home. He also painted river scenes, rural landscapes and possessed a great aptitude to capture people in their daily work Typical titles of his work include “Sheep returning to the Fold” (oil on canvas) , “Interior of Sheep barn” and “Working the Fields” (both oil on canvas) and his work is extremely sought after by private collectors. Claires work usually attract good amounts at auction and at gallery sales in the region of 2-3,000 euros plus as research will demonstrate.

We are describing the painting as in fair to good condition for it's antiquity. There are no obvious repairs, but there is a little bit of impasto in two small areas ( not noticeable to normal viewing) and indicative of the artists technic and one use of a thin impasto touch-in ( tiny area also on the verso which suggests a microscopic wear to the thinning canvas. The painting has a few areas of thinning to canvas ( No daylight showing yet) and the painting would benefit from a lining at some point in the next decade. Also the painting would ideally benefit from a professional cleaning to enhance it's wonderful tonality and use of colour. Fully acceptable hung in it's present condition and is being offered for auction with a coeval gilt-coloured turn of the Century composition French frame which is in reasonably good condition and offered as a gift as we cannot insure frames for shipping.
