"Oil On Canvas, View Of Brittany, 19th Century, Signed Le Sénéchal, Marine Painter, Fisherwomen "
A charming antique oil on canvas signed Le Sénéchal. A beautiful and lively Breton coastal scene. In the foreground, several shell gatherers work on the foreshore, while a wooded embankment occupies the left side of the composition. In the background, a traditional port is revealed with its sailboats lined up along the quay and a village bathed in the soft light characteristic of late 19th-century seascapes. The nuanced palette, the fine details, and the perfectly balanced composition give this work an authentic and vibrant atmosphere. The painting is presented in a superb period gilt frame, richly carved with foliate motifs, which particularly enhances the composition. 70cm x 52cm. Very good condition. Painted by Gustan Le Sénéchal de Kerdréoret, marine painter.
