Anne Marie Migette Perard
Mid-20th Century Post-Impressionist Beach Scene with Women and Parasol

About the Item

Title: Mid-20th Century Post-Impressionist Beach Scene with Women and Parasol by Anne Marie Migette Perard (French 1902-1977) Signed: Yes Medium: Pastel on unframed paper Size: 10.5 inches (height) x 16.5 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: Vibrant and effortlessly stylish, this Mid-20th Century pastel by Anne Marie Migette Perard is a delightful snapshot of French summer leisure. Set against a row of beach huts with a bold parasol at centre stage, two women in vintage swimsuits relax by the shore—one absorbed in knitting, the other gazing into the shade beneath a wide-brimmed sunhat. The simplicity of line and vivid pops of colour lend the composition a breezy, elegant charm that echoes the fashion and freedom of mid-century beach culture. The oversized green and yellow parasol anchors the composition and creates a strong focal point, while the angular rooftops and crisp white huts evoke the neat geometry of a seaside resort. Perard’s style is loose yet highly observant, using pastel and coloured pencil to evoke texture and warmth with remarkable economy. The pinks and peaches of sun-kissed skin, the deep cobalt of the bathing suit, and the turquoise accents in the yarn suggest not just a place but a moment of quiet joy and intimacy. A subtly humorous detail—the woman knitting under the blazing sun—adds to the human charm of the scene. Whether viewed as a nostalgic look at summer past or a celebration of stylish simplicity, this work beautifully encapsulates Perard’s skill in elevating everyday moments into enduring art.

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.

Hugues Claude Pissarro b.1935 French 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.
