Les Pêcheurs
£530.00
20th-century oil on hardboard. A soft and balmy sea and sky view. Unsigned.
In the foreground, a fisherman pulls in a net at the water’s edge, surrounded by gentle, receding waves. The absence of a constructed foreground heightens the sense of space and distance.
A small sailboat to the right occupies the middle ground, while the horizon line, punctuated by several small vessels, anchors the far distance and provides scale.
The sky dominates the composition, filled with textured clouds rendered in subtle tonal shifts. The chromatic variations suggest a transitional hour, perhaps the end of the day, when light is filtered and diffuse. Blues, muted mauves, and soft peach tones balance one another with restraint.
