A soft light stretches across the calm waters of a bustling port: this is what this magnificent marine watercolor signed Félix Massoul, dating from the early twentieth century, delivers.
The composition brings together several sailing boats in ochre and pink hues, one of which proudly displays the French tricolour flag at the top of the mast. The palette, all restraint, blends the blue-grey of the sky and water with the greens and beiges of the shore. The technique, combining watercolor and pencil strokes, conveys a light and controlled impressionism, typical of that era.
The work is presented in an elegant wood frame gilded with leaf, enhanced with a pink mat and an inner brass line – a period presentation, perfectly preserved.
Dimensions: 48 × 50 cm, depth 4 cm. Good state of conservation, light wear and consistent with age.
Perfect for adorning a living room, office or seaside bedroom, this characteristic piece will bring a touch of history and serenity to your interior. Ready to find its place in your home.
