Sud De France – Cuguen Victor – Barques à Toulon – Huile Sur Panneau - Signé

Work executed on plywood panel. Painting depicting fishing boats in Toulon harbor. 2 figures stand on the largest of the boats. The bright colors of the hulls are reflected in the sea. In the background, the harbor buildings and a blue and pink twilight sky.
The whole is painted with a palette knife, with beautiful material effects.
The work is small and therefore easy to place in a room.
Signed lower right.

Condition: Very good, clean condition. It is presented in a turn-of-the-century gilded wood frame in good condition.
The location and artist's name are on the back of the frame.
The back of the work is spectacular in itself: it features a second painting, this time of a landscape, also signed!
