Title: Anne Marie Migette Perard; Mid-Century French Watercolour of Fishing Boats and Lighthouse on a Quiet Shore Description: Title: Mid-20th Century Pastel of Coastal Scene with Village and Clifftop Church by Anne Marie Migette Perard (French 1902-1977) Medium: Pastel on unframed paper Size: 10.5 inches (height) x 14.5 inches (width) Condition: As is normal with unframed works on paper there are some minor old creases or paper edge curls/ tears - all of which should be covered over or smoothed out once framed; generally very good and sound. Provenance: as with all the works we have by this artist, it has come from the artists estate in France. Description: This expansive pastel landscape by Anne Marie Migette Perard captures the serene beauty of a coastal village perched high above the sea, rendered with delicate strokes and subtle, tonal colour. A winding shoreline curves beneath the steep cliffs, while a cluster of buildings—complete with a central church and terracotta rooftops—sits nestled among pine trees and rolling hills. Though the precise location is unknown, the palette and architectural hints evoke southern France, northern Spain, or Italy's Ligurian coast, where medieval hilltop villages often overlook the sea in a patchwork of olive green, dusty ochre, and slate blue. The water shimmers in soft shades of lilac, sage, and pale aqua, creating a tranquil counterbalance to the busier strokes of the land. Perard’s loose, expressive technique gives this piece a lyrical quality—blending observation with memory to portray not just a view, but a sense of stillness and space. The effect is peaceful, with the sweeping composition drawing the viewer’s eye toward the horizon and the sense of an endless seascape beyond. A beautiful acquisition for lovers of coastal scenes, romantic landscapes, and the distinctive pastel work of mid-20th century European artists.
