About the Item

Title: French Watercolor of Barques sur la Grève and Fishing Boats on Shore by Robert Lepine (French, 1929 - 2017) Signed: Yes Medium: Watercolor painting on artists paper, mounted Size: 12.25 x 16.25 (height x width) Provenance: From the artists atelier collection, South of France Description: This striking watercolor by Robert Lepine, titled "Barques sur la Grève", captures a quintessential French coastal scene where traditional wooden fishing boats rest on the shore at low tide. The central vessel, a large blue fishing boat propped up on stilts for maintenance, dominates the foreground, its weathered hull showcasing the craftsmanship of a bygone era. In the background, smaller fishing boats float gently on the calm waters, framed by distant islands and an expansive sky. Key Features: Barques sur la Grève: A French maritime term referring to boats resting on the shore, often seen in traditional fishing villages. Rich Nautical Heritage: Depicts the timeless cycle of fishing life, from vessel upkeep to setting sail, making it ideal for lovers of maritime history. Masterful Detail: Lepine’s delicate pen work and subtle watercolor washes enhance the depth, texture, and realism of the boats and coastal environment. Muted Coastal Palette: The soft blues, sandy earth tones, and atmospheric grays evoke a peaceful yet nostalgic maritime setting. A perfect addition for collectors of nautical art, French coastal landscapes, and maritime heritage, this atmospheric piece embodies the rhythms of the sea and the enduring beauty of traditional fishing life.
