Superb oil on wood signed by the Marseille painter François Reynaud (1825-1909), representing Fort Saint-Jean and the entrance to the Old Port of Marseille. The composition is bathed in a soft Mediterranean light, enlivened by a white sail gliding over the shimmering reflections of the sea. The warm hues of the port contrast harmoniously with the pastel sky, typical of the artist's luminous style.
