Pierre-françois Ogé (1869-1913) – Raising The Nets – Original Etching, Breton Seascape, 19th Century

Original etching signed Ogé, titled in pencil "The Hauling in of the Nets." A Breton seascape depicting three fishing sailboats in a dense, slightly stormy atmosphere. The intaglio work is precise, with a beautiful network of hatching in the reflections on the water. The coloring stands out from typical decorative seascapes with a more muted and profound palette—browns, darkened reds, nuanced grays—giving the whole a more naturalistic and expressive presence. Early impression on laid paper, well-defined plate mark. Early watercolor highlights. Image dimensions: 17 x 11.5 cm. Framed dimensions: 36 x 28 cm. Very good overall condition. Early print from the late 19th/early 20th century. Reframed in the 1980s in a simple frame, ensuring its protection and current presentation.
