Title: Watercolor of Fishing Boats in Dry Dock; Entitled Bateaux en Cale de Halage
by Robert Lepine (French, 1929 - 2017)
Signed: Yes
Medium: Watercolor painting on artists paper
Size: 12.25 x 16.25 (height x width)
Provenance: From the artists atelier collection, South of France
Description:
This beautifully detailed watercolor and ink sketch captures a shipyard scene, featuring fishing boats propped up on dry docks (cale de halage) for maintenance. The artist's precise ink work brings out the textures of the weathered hulls, metal scaffolding, and wooden docks, while the watercolor washes soften the industrial setting with atmospheric light and depth.
The composition is anchored by three large fishing vessels, each with distinctive colors and rigging, evoking the rhythms of maritime life. Scaffolding and ladders lean against the boats, suggesting ongoing repairs, while the presence of smokestacks and distant ships hints at a bustling harbor just beyond the frame. The industrial shipyard structures in the foreground, including a rusting hull and coiled ropes, add authenticity and texture to the scene.
The delicate sky and subtle reflections on the damp dock create an evocative mood, balancing hard-edged industry with painterly beauty. This piece is a wonderful representation of France’s rich maritime heritage, perfect for collectors who appreciate nautical art, shipbuilding traditions, and coastal landscapes.

The Boat Yard, 20th Century English Watercolour and Graphite Artwork
