Frame size 18.7 inches x 24 inches ( 47.5cm x 61cm ). Available for sale; this original painting is by the (“peintre Havrais”) French artist Maurice Melissent and dates from the 1950s. The painting is presented and supplied in a sympathetic contemporary frame (which is shown in these photographs), mounted using conservation materials and behind non-reflective Tru Vue UltraVue® UV70 glass. This vintage watercolor is in very good condition, commensurate with its age. It wants for nothing and is supplied ready to hang and display. The watercolor is signed lower right. Maurice Melissent was a French artist, who was born in Le Havre on 3 July 1911, and died in 1988. He specialised in painting harbour and maritime scenes and was able to earn a living as an artist all his life. He had a light, sensitive style and produced some charming works. © Big Sky Fine Art This watercolor depicts the Maritime “Maritem” District in the port of Rotterdam. The outline of some of the city’s buildings, which includes many spires, is shown against the skyline. Rotterdam is the second largest city in the Netherlands, after the national capital of Amsterdam. It is in the Province of South Holland and has a rich maritime history which would have appealed to this artist.
