L. Richard oil on canvas depicting exotic birds in a landscape; signed to bottom left corner "L. Richard" and signed to bottom right corner "Jacob"; measures approximately 33-1/2" x 45-1/2" with very ornate gilded frame and has a sight image of approximately 23-1/4" x 35"; in good condition with some wear to frame. L. Richard is the Nam De Plume of South Korean artist born in Suncheon City September 16, 1957. The artist graduated from Maisan High School before challenging the rococo complexities of the eighteenth-century French masters. His bright skies and dexterity of brushwork echo the mastery of Freonard and his delicate ferns and flowers contrast beautifully with his trademark grapes and other robust, vivid fruits. In addition to his elegance and technical virtuosity, the careful observer will note that each L. Richard original oil painting has small visual surprises tucked away in the painting filling every inch of his work with delight.
