Raimond Lecourt was a talented French artist with a particular flare for painting equine and bovine subject matter. He was born on 25th January 1882 in Le Havre, Seine-Maritime, France. His skill as an artist must have been apparent as he became a student at the School of Fine Arts in Le Havre at the very young age. He studied under Charles Lhuillier and his contemporaries were Henri and René de St Delis, Emile Othon Friesz, Raoul Dufy, Copieux and Braque. At the age of 17 he moved to the National School of Fine Arts in Paris, where he studied in the studio of Léon Bonnat. After Bonnat’s death he worked with Luc Olivier Merson.
In 1907 Lecourt returned to the Le Havre region and settled in Fontaine-La-Mallet, but travelled regularly for painting trips to Normandy, Brittany, Auvergne, the Pyrenees and the Alps. He became a member of the French Artists association.
He was mobilised during the Great War, wounded in the arm in 1914, and was later awarded the Croix de Guerre 1914-1918. This was awarded to individuals who were mentioned in dispatches, meaning they distinguished themselves through an act of heroism involving combat with the enemy. His studio was destroyed during the Liberation bombings of 1918, as was much of his catalogue of works.
Lecourt exhibited at the Salon, Paris, where he obtained a mention for painting in 1920 and for his engraving work in 1922.
He continued painting for the rest of his life, specialising in horse-racing scenes, and landscapes. He died on 1 January 1946 of pneumonia. He was aged 63.
Works by Lecourt are held in the collection of the Musée Alphonse-Georges-Poulain and the Art Museum Solothurn in Switzerland.

This is a charming original oil on canvas painting by the French artist Raimond Lecourt. It is signed by the artist in the lower left section and dated 1908, when the artist would have been 26.
It depicts a man in working clothes with his two horses, one white and one brown, at a water trough. The man has his right arm resting affectionately on the shoulder of the white horse as it drinks from the trough. This may be their morning drink, or a respite from the work of the day. This is a summer’s day; it is warm, the sky is a soft shade of blue and the trees are in full foliage. The background is modest, a stone barn to the left and a small cottage in the background. This is a scene of calm and care.

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.
