About the Item
'The Port of Honfleur, France', oil on canvas, by Julien Varlet (1958). A vibrant and evocative harbour scene from the historic port city of Honfleur in Normandy, France. Colourful, curving fishing boats bob gently at their moorings, contrasting with the angular architecture of the buildings that line the quayside. Varlet’s treatment of light on the water is unexpectedly sophisticated—subtle reflections shimmer across the surface, adding depth and atmosphere. There’s a striking sense of presence here: the boat drying its nets on the mainstay seems almost three-dimensional, inviting us to step aboard. One can almost smell the mix of fish, mildew, rope, and cigarette smoke that defines a working harbour. The deck planks appear weathered and uneven, as though we might hear them creak underfoot as the vessel shifts with the tide.
Though the artist remains relatively unknown, this painting demonstrates a confident hand and a keen ability to capture the spirit and texture of a place with remarkable realism.
About the Artist: (Julien Varlet - 20th Century) - While detailed biographical information on Varlet is scarce, his work The Port of Honfleur aligns with a tradition of artists depicting the picturesque harbour of Honfleur, Normandy. This locale has inspired numerous artists, including Johan Barthold Jongkind, whose 1864 watercolor The Port of Honfleur is part of the Art Institute of Chicago's collection.

Quay by the Bridge in Paris
By Roland Dubuc
Located in London, GB
'Quay by the Bridge in Paris', watercolour on art paper, by Roland Dubuc (circa 1970s-80s). The broad Parisian river Seine divides the city into the left and right banks. The Left Bank, or Rive Gauche is famous for the Latin Quarter while the Right Bank is better known for attractions like Arc de Triomphe, Montmartre, and the Louvre. A trip here simply isn’t complete without a stroll along this romantic river. And a cruise on the Seine or drinks aboard an anchored boat along the quay is a wonderful experience as well. The artist Dubuc created many artworks with the Seine as backdrop. You can have this one right in your living room. In good overall condition, the piece is newly framed and glazed with anti-reflective glass. Upon request a video of the painting may be provided.
About the Artist: Roland DuBuc (1924-1998), French artist, the sixth of 13 children and son of a construction worker. The very precariousness of the family's financial situation forced him to go to work at the age of 14. In extreme poverty, he moved to Rouen where he was lodged by the Salvation Army. During that time he struck up friendships with several artists who gave him advice and taught him techniques of drawing. He moved to other cities later where he met painters including, among others, Fred Pailhès...
