Title: Anne Marie Migette Perard; Mid-Century French Watercolour of Woman Seated in Garden With Pink Flowers Description: Title: French Mid-20th Century Watercolour of Temple of Segesta in Sicily by Anne Marie Migette Perard (French 1902-1977) Medium: Pastel on unframed paper Size: 8.75 inches (height) x 12.5 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 atmospheric pastel by Anne Marie Migette Perard captures the ancient Temple of Segesta in Sicily, its classical Doric columns rising from a dreamy Mediterranean landscape. Bathed in soft light and surrounded by lush, loosely-rendered greenery, the temple sits peacefully among rolling hills under a vibrant sky. The artist’s expressive, impressionistic technique—characteristic of mid-20th century French Post-Impressionism—blends subtle tonal shifts with gestural strokes, creating a scene that is both timeless and evocative. Segesta, located in northwestern Sicily, is known for its remarkably well-preserved ancient temple dating back to the 5th century BCE. Though never completed, the temple remains a powerful symbol of ancient Greek influence on the island and a popular subject for artists drawn to its harmony and solitude. In this piece, Perard distills the essence of the landscape and architecture into a lyrical, almost dreamlike composition. A beautiful example of Perard’s sensitive eye for light and landscape, this piece would suit collectors interested in historic European scenes, classical architecture, or 20th-century French art.
