Description
Title: Mid-20th Century Post-Impressionist Seascape with Seaweed and Surf by Anne Marie Migette Perard (French 1902-1977)
Medium: Watercolor on unframed paper
Size: 16.25 inches (height) x 13 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 evocative Post-Impressionist seascape captures the delicate dance between land and water at the shoreline—where waves unfurl with golden foam and seaweed-laced sands shimmer in the morning light. Painted in fluid watercolour, Anne Marie Migette Perard’s brushwork moves freely across the paper, suggesting motion, breeze, and salt-spray in a deeply atmospheric work. The tonal shifts from soft sandy ochres to vivid marine greens and rich, almost wine-hued purples in the foreground lend the composition a grounded yet expressive palette. Dappled sunlight glints on the shallows, while abstracted seaweed forms cast flickering shadows across the beach—inviting the viewer into a sensory memory of shoreline wanderings. The sky, washed in muted lavenders and gentle blues, balances the warm sand and vibrant surf below, suggesting a coastal calm before the tide turns again. This piece is a masterclass in suggestion—Perard provides just enough visual information to summon a mood, while letting colour and gesture lead the way. An ideal piece for collectors who appreciate the subtleties of plein air watercolour and the emotional pull of the sea, it would sit beautifully in a space craving atmosphere and movement.
