Odile Bron – Woman with snake – Signed watercolor, 20th century
This watercolor and pencil drawing entitled Femme au serpent (Woman with a Snake) features a brightly colored figurative composition, signed "o.bron" in the lower right corner.
A seated woman, enveloped by the sinuous silhouette of a snake, is set within a stylized landscape of water and trees. The flat areas of red, blue, yellow, and green, the dotted patterns, and the black outlines give the piece a graphic expression reminiscent of naive art. A pink border punctuated with yellow enhances the decorative nature of the scene.
The work is attributed to Odile Bron, a 20th-century artist. The visible signature is consistent with this identification, although the first name does not appear on the work. It is preserved under glass in a black frame with polychrome and gilded floral decoration.

The work is in satisfactory vintage condition. Some light marks are visible on the paper or the mounting. The frame is loosely fitted, and the glass shifts slightly. The frame shows signs of wear, as well as a chip with detachment at the upper right corner.
A colorful and narrative work, ideal for enlivening a living room wall, a library, or an eclectic interior.
