Title: French Watercolor of Le Port de Douarnenez Brittany at Sunset by Robert Lepine (French, 1929 - 2017) Signed: Yes Medium: Watercolor painting on artists paper Size: 11.5 x 15 (height x width) Provenance: From the artists atelier collection, South of France Description: This evocative watercolor by Robert Lepine beautifully captures Le Port de Douarnenez, a historic fishing port in Brittany, France. The scene depicts a tranquil harbor at low tide, with fishing boats resting on the shore and the golden hues of the setting sun casting a warm glow over the water. The charming waterfront village, with its traditional Breton architecture, sits in the background, adding depth and authenticity to the composition. Key Features: Douarnenez Harbor: A well-known coastal town in Brittany, renowned for its deep-rooted maritime history and vibrant fishing culture. Atmospheric Lighting: The soft, muted tones of the sky contrast with the rich blues and earth tones of the boats and shoreline, creating a serene yet dramatic ambiance. Fine Detail: The artist’s use of pen and delicate watercolor washes brings out intricate textures, from the weathered boats to the reflections in the water. Timeless Appeal: A wonderful homage to the picturesque harbors of northern France, ideal for collectors who appreciate seascapes and historical coastal scenes. This artwork captures the charm of Brittany’s maritime heritage and would make a stunning addition to any collection featuring French landscapes, nautical themes, or traditional fishing villages.
