Vue Côtière

An oil painting on canvas mounted to hard carton, from the home and atelier of French artist Cécile Hertz-Eyrolles (1875–1974). The reverse bears the artist’s atelier stamp.

This coastal landscape captures a dramatic shoreline at dusk, with winding bays and inlets stretching into the distance. The sea is rendered in soft blue tones, while the sky glows with warm gold, suggesting the last light of day. The coastline below is cloaked in shadow, with purples and deep greens washing over the vegetation. It’s a quiet, expansive scene — likely inspired by the rugged coasts of Normandy or Brittany — and evokes a feeling of calm at day’s end.

Condition to note: The painting is in lovely condition for its age. A few small speckles and smudges are visible on the surface.
