Beautiful watercolor by the Toulon painter Laurent Mattio which represents a corner of a beach in Porquerolles (Var) on an August evening. The artist succeeds in transcribing the nuances of light of an evening on the island of Porquerolles as well as the play of light on the water.

A student of Cormon in Paris, Laurent Mattio exhibited at the Salon des artistes français from 1919.
In 1922, he was appointed professor at the Ecole des beaux-arts in Toulon.
In 1931, he decided to devote himself fully to painting and stopped teaching at the Ecole des beaux-arts. He set up his studio in Sanary, before returning to Toulon in 1947.
In 1930, the painter exhibited at the Galerie Alex Jouvène in Marseille.
