He is considered one of the last representatives from the Barbizon School. His watercolors are influenced by Japonism. He paints rural scenes of Île-de-France and landscapes with a predilection for wooded ponds and for colorful Provençal seascapes, created in particular in the vicinity of Marseille, these often showing professions which have now disappeared. He signed his works “Paul Lecomte”, who should not be confused with his nephew Paul Émile Lecomte3.
