Title: Quimper Watercolor of Historic Houses Along the Steir River by Robert Lepine (French, 1929 - 2017) Signed: Yes Medium: Watercolor painting on artists paper Size: 11.25 x 15 (height x width) Provenance: From the artists atelier collection, South of France Description: This charming watercolor captures the timeless beauty of Quimper’s historic houses lining the Steir River in Brittany, France. The painting features medieval half-timbered homes with steep slate roofs, a picturesque turreted stone tower, and a small wooden bridge crossing the tranquil waterway, evoking the city’s rich heritage. Key highlights include: Quimper’s Architectural Heritage: The row of centuries-old homes, with textured facades and blue slate roofs, reflects the medieval charm of Brittany’s capital of pottery and culture. The Steir River: A serene, narrow waterway winding through the heart of Quimper, dotted with moored wooden boats, adding a sense of tranquility. Atmospheric Composition: The soft afternoon light, muted color palette, and delicate reflections in the water enhance the scene’s nostalgic ambiance. Human Presence: Two elegantly dressed figures chatting by the bridge railing, bringing a sense of daily life and movement. Fine Architectural Detailing: The stone turret, timber-framed facades, and charming flower boxes emphasize the artist’s attention to texture and historical accuracy. This elegant and detailed painting offers a glimpse into Quimper’s historic waterways, ideal for collectors of French cityscapes, architectural watercolors, and Breton heritage pieces.
