Title: French Mid 20th Century Gouache Painting of Roosters and Rural Church Scene
by Anne Marie Migette Perard (French 1902-1977)
Medium: Gouache on paper
Size: 14.5 inches (height) x 17.75 inches (width)
Condition: As is normal with unframed works on paper there are some minor old creases or paper edge curls/ tears - all of which should be covered over or smoothed out once framed; generally very good and sound.
Provenance: as with all the works we have by this artist, it has come from the artists estate in France.
Description: This expressive mid-century composition by Anne Marie Migette Perard showcases a lively gathering of roosters in motion, rendered in bold gouache and ink. With dynamic lines and sweeping brushstrokes, the artist captures the energetic posture of the central white rooster, its vibrant red comb and striking tail feathers creating an instant focal point. Surrounding the main figure are abstracted silhouettes of other birds, echoing the rhythmic movement of the scene.
In the distance, the pale blue silhouette of a church adds a gentle nod to rural life, evoking a pastoral French village at dawn. Perard’s loose, gestural mark-making and contrasting palette of dark backgrounds with pops of red and green imbue the scene with a sense of spontaneity and visual drama.
Rooster imagery holds symbolic meaning in both French heritage and broader art history—representing themes of pride, vigilance, and vitality. The cockerel, or le coq gaulois, is even a national emblem of France, adding rich cultural resonance to this work.
This compelling piece will appeal to collectors of animal-themed art, French modernism, and expressive works that celebrate movement and character through strong linework and color.

Maria Tort Xirau ( Figueres , 26 May 1924 – 6 June 2018) was a painter and photographic and cinematographic editor from Emporda. She developed a long professional career in leading photographic studios, in films for The Walt Disney Company and also in advertising claims for companies such as Educa Borràs . The second half of her life was dedicated to painting, exercising a luminous, varied and nostalgic chromatic style in the techniques of oil and watercolor and with exhibitions of her work in Barcelona and Figueres. The Biographical Dictionary of Art Empordà defined Tort Xirau's work as "a painting that is characterized by the strength of the strokes, the vividness and brightness of the chromatic range and exudes mastery of the photographic technique. A mixture of nostalgia and tenderness is evident.".
Tort Xirau's paintings were exhibited in the two towns where she spent her life: in 1992 she exhibited his work at the Caixa de Figueres Exhibition Hall. Two years later, she did it at Sala Conex in Barcelona and in 2007 and 2013 the Consortium of Sant Ferran Castle and the Figueres Town Council organized tribute exhibitions. In 2013, she ceded to the council of the city of Figueres her work Mercat de la plaça de l'Ajuntament , watercolored on paper around 1991, which is exhibited in the rest room of the building.
On June 6, 2018, she died in Figueres at the age of 94, receiving the apostolic blessing . Two years after her death, part of her paintings were included in the exhibition Paint, create, live. Women artists in the Alt...
