Beautiful work of the painter Henry Maurice Cahours which represents a view of Yport in the department of Seine-Maritime, in Normandy. On the first one can distinguish the city of Yport animated by a few characters on the promenade and the pier, and on the second a view of the cliffs.

Henry Maurice Cahours settled in Paris in 1916 after his marriage to the daughter of the sculptor Frédéric Debon, in Pissarro's studio and rubbed shoulders with the painters Utrillo, Max Jacob and Derain in Montmartre.
It was during this period that the painter began to stay in Douarnenez. He took part in the Salon des Artistes Français in 1920 then in the Salon des Indépendants in 1922 and until 1942.
In 1960, he moved to Vence and succeeded in taming the light of Provence, which was said to be "too crude" for Impressionism.
His paintings are critically acclaimed for having great sensitivity.

Dimensions: 55 x 46 cm without frame and 81 x 58.5 cm with its beautiful Montparnasse frame in carved wood.
