Anne Marie Migette Perard
Mid-20th Century Post-Impressionist Pastel of Fishing Boats and Harbour Crowd

About the Item

Title: Mid-20th Century Post-Impressionist Pastel of Fishing Boats and Harbour Crowd by Anne Marie Migette Perard (French 1902-1977) Medium: Pastel on unframed paper Size: 15.75 inches (height) x 11.75 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-20th Century Post-Impressionist pastel by Anne Marie Migette Perard captures the colourful bustle of a fishing harbour with immediacy and charm. Rendered in rapid strokes and confident colourwork, the composition centers on a vivid green boat moored in the foreground, flanked by masts and sails in bold primary tones—red, orange, yellow, and blue—cutting through the hazy atmosphere of a working port. Figures line the quay in sketch-like silhouettes, mingling and bustling near the boats, while the soft outline of a coastal town—with its pointed spire and distant rooftops—emerges in layers of cool greys and pastels beyond the misty waterline. The background is intentionally blurred, giving a dreamlike effect and allowing the bright foreground elements to take visual precedence. Perard’s handling of pastel here is free and gestural, with both softness and energy in equal measure. The balance between suggestion and detail gives the viewer just enough information to fill in the scene’s narrative—making this a compelling piece for lovers of impressionist maritime works and collectors drawn to painterly spontaneity and movement. A beautiful study of light, rhythm, and everyday life along the French coast.

Dimanche au Champ de Course (Deauville) (Sunday at the Racetrack)
By Hughes Claude Pissarro
Located in New Orleans, LA
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. 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...
