Title: Anne Marie Migette Perard; Mid-20th Century Post-Impressionist Watercolour of Red Tulips and Mimosa in Vase Description: Title: French Mid 20th Century Gouache Painting of Roosters and Rural Church Scene by Anne Marie Migette Perard (French 1902-1977) Medium: Gouache on paper Size: 14.5 inches (height) x 17.75 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 expressive mid-century composition by Anne Marie Migette Perard showcases a lively gathering of roosters in motion, rendered in bold gouache and ink. With dynamic lines and sweeping brushstrokes, the artist captures the energetic posture of the central white rooster, its vibrant red comb and striking tail feathers creating an instant focal point. Surrounding the main figure are abstracted silhouettes of other birds, echoing the rhythmic movement of the scene. In the distance, the pale blue silhouette of a church adds a gentle nod to rural life, evoking a pastoral French village at dawn. Perard’s loose, gestural mark-making and contrasting palette of dark backgrounds with pops of red and green imbue the scene with a sense of spontaneity and visual drama. Rooster imagery holds symbolic meaning in both French heritage and broader art history—representing themes of pride, vigilance, and vitality. The cockerel, or le coq gaulois, is even a national emblem of France, adding rich cultural resonance to this work. This compelling piece will appeal to collectors of animal-themed art, French modernism, and expressive works that celebrate movement and character through strong linework and color.
