Title: Mid-20th Century Post-Impressionist Watercolour of Boats and Lighthouse Scene by Anne Marie Migette Perard (French 1902-1977)
Medium: Watercolor on unframed paper
Size: 13.75 inches (height) x 10.25 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 vibrant watercolour by Anne Marie Migette Perard captures a serene coastal moment, with gently bobbing boats in the foreground and a stately lighthouse rising in the background. The painting radiates fluidity and movement, as soft washes of sea green, sky blue, and sandy beige swirl together to evoke the light and rhythm of the harbour. The loosely drawn masts and rigging lend the scene a sense of gentle motion, while the abstracted forms and expressive brushwork reflect Perard’s Post-Impressionist style. The clustered sailboats, painted in rich hues of cream, plum, and mint, are delicately outlined to maintain form within the fluid composition. In the background, stacked boats and a glowing lighthouse suggest a bustling yet tranquil maritime location, possibly in Brittany or the French Riviera. A charming portrayal of nautical life, this work merges structure with spontaneity, making it an ideal addition for collectors of French seascapes, travel-inspired art, or mid-century coastal scenes.
