The canvas is signed \"Girard\" and dated to the 1980s, but the signature does not match any recorded or well-known artist of that name — the attribution here comes from family history, not documented authorship. It descended directly in the seller's family, who say it was painted by a relative also named Girard. The loose brushwork, warm palette, and traditional Provençal subject make it a straightforward decorative painting for a wall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VaultXL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64723603652979,"sku":"VXL-00503","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0989\/6283\/3779\/files\/c2529c80-9591-4c24-b7df-6698fcd1b0de.png?v=1790181396","url":"https:\/\/vaultxlshop.com\/products\/original-oil-painting-provencal-village-orchard-scene-signed-girard-1980s-art","provider":"VaultXL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
