Title: Anne Marie Migette Perard; Mid-20th Century Pastel of the River at Brantôme in France Description: Title: Mid-20th Century Pastel of Luxembourg City with Fortification Wall and River by Anne Marie Migette Perard (French 1902-1977) Signed: Yes 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 captivating mid-century pastel by Anne Marie Migette Perard offers a stylised yet recognisable view of Luxembourg City, with its iconic red-brick bridge, winding river, and fortified wall rising above a charming townscape. The composition masterfully blends architectural precision with expressive colour, depicting the city's layered geography and historic charm. Luxembourg’s unique setting—perched dramatically above the Petrusse and Alzette rivers—has long attracted artists. Here, Perard captures the distinctive mix of medieval and modern, with church spires, slate-roofed houses, and the Casemates-like bridge punctuating the landscape. Cool blues and greens contrast with rich terracottas and golden tones, guiding the viewer’s eye along the river and up into the heart of the city. Perfect for collectors interested in European cityscapes, Luxembourg scenes, or Post-Impressionist interpretations of urban architecture, this piece radiates both elegance and historical resonance. It is a fine example of Perard’s gift for capturing place with vibrant sensitivity.
