Description
A French oil on canvas landscape of a summer riverscape by Maurice Schwab also known as 'Grawil'. The painting is signed bottom right and presented on a fine chassis with 'keys' in a wood frame with gilt filet.
Grawil has captured all the charm of a lazy, late summers day at the riverbank. He has played with the light and shade to give a wonderful feeling of perspective and depth to the painting. We can feel the languid course of the river reflecting the sunlight. The poplar trees in the distance, the bullrushes and marginal plants, the ancient mulberry trees with their new growth. Grawil has created a charming peaceful scene that invites us in to share and enjoy the calm.
He has used both brush and palette knife to give texture to the composition, highlights, light and shade. Grawil has captured all the magic of this tranquil landscape.
Grawil, the Provençal painter
Grawil is a Provençal painter, a part of the art scene in the South of the France. His real name is Maurice Schwab, but he chose to sign his works under the pseudonym Grawil.
Born in 1946 in Marseille, Grawil studied at the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Marseille and the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. He then worked as a graphic designer, before devoting himself entirely to painting.
Grawil is known for his paintings depicting nature and Provençal landscapes. He uses a brush technique, with impasto, to give relief to his paintings.
Grawil's works are highly appreciated by art lovers in Provence, Southern France and throughout the World. He often depicts everyday scenes, rural landscaped, houses by the sea, lavender fields or olive trees.These works are usually painted in oil on canvas, with great precision in detail.
Grawil is a marker in the Provençal art scene, offering paintings representing the beauty of the landscapes of southern France. His unique style, with impasto and bright colours, has inspired many local artists.
Even today, Grawil is considered one of the must-see painters in the region, and his works are highly sought after by art lovers. His contribution to Provençal art will undoubtedly be celebrated for many years to come.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
