Méditerranée

19th-century oil painting on wooden panel with signature (illegible) in the lower left.

A lively and sunlit depiction of a working port, centered around a French fishing boat, in the harbor. The colorful rooftops of the surrounding houses and the shimmering brightness of the water evoke the warmth of a summer day in a quaint coastal town.

The artist’s brushwork is free and fluid, capturing the movement of light and water with effortless ease. Yet, amidst this expressive technique, special attention is given to the boat itself, lending the scene a sense of realism and craftsmanship.

Rendered in a luminous palette and imbued with Mediterranean charm, this piece retains its original frame, enhancing its timeless appeal.
