Paul-henry Lafon – Rocky Coast At Quiberon – Oil On Panel

A beautiful oil on panel by Paul-Henry Lafon, depicting a rocky coastline battered by waves, located in the region of Quiberon in Brittany.

The composition captures the power of the ocean with great dynamism: a choppy sea crashes against the rocks while a stormy sky looms over the horizon.

The brushwork is generous, particularly in the waves and foam, rendered with an energetic, three-dimensional touch.

The shades of turquoise blue, white, ochre, and brown lend this seascape a beautiful luminosity.

The work is signed “P. H. Lafon” in the lower right corner.

On the back, it retains an interesting label from the Galerie Lafon in Quiberon, dedicated to exhibiting the works of Paul-Henry Lafon.

This label notably lists the artist as an exhibitor at the Galerie Charpentier in Paris, the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, and a member of the Société des Aquarellistes Français.

It also notes government acquisitions and the presence of his works in various collections.

The painting is presented in its carved wooden frame, with a cream-colored patina and gilded accents, featuring an engraved brass cartouche on the lower rail inscribed “PAUL-HENRY LAFON”.

Some wear and minor imperfections in the frame’s patina are visible and contribute to its antique character.

Dimensions with frame: 46 × 60 cm.

A decorative and expressive seascape, particularly noteworthy for its signature, its name cartouche, and its provenance label on the back.
