About the Item
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.

Signed: Yes
Medium: Pastel on unframed paper

Description: This expressive Mid-20th Century Post-Impressionist pastel by Anne Marie Migette Perard presents a sun-soaked village scene surrounded by slender cypress trees and rustic Mediterranean architecture. The warm pastel tones—terracotta, peach, ochre, and soft pink—combine with splashes of green foliage and vibrant orange fruit to evoke a summery, southern European atmosphere.
While the lower right inscription appears to read "Gzenote," the specific location remains unclear. Nevertheless, the composition strongly suggests a Provençal or Italian hill town...

Dimanche au champ de course (Deauville)
(Sunday at the Racetrack)
Signed “H. Claude Pissarro” (lower left)
Pastel on card
French artist Hugues Claude Pissarro offers a unique perspective of the racetrack in Deauville in this exceptional pastel. The spectators are as much his subject as the sport in this artistic tribute to a leisurely Sunday at the tracks. Following the impressionist tradition of his father and grandfather before him, Pissarro infuses this pastel with dynamic light and vibrant colors. Entitled Dimanche au Champ de Course (Deauville), it showcases the artist's highly distinctive and sophisticated style.
Hailing from a long lineage of painters, Pissarro's artistic talents were cultivated at an early age. He exhibited his first works at the young age of 14 and later studied in Paris at the École du Louvre and École Normale Supérieure. A 1959 White House commission to paint the portrait of President...
