About the Item
Title: Mid-Century Textured Abstract Watercolour With Swan Bird and Sleeping Face
by Anne Marie Migette Perard (French 1902-1977)
Medium: Watercolour with textured mixed media on unframed paper
Size: 25.75 inches (height) x 19.75 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: A richly layered and emotionally charged abstract composition, this mid-century mixed media watercolour by French artist Anne Marie Migette Perard stands out for its blend of suggestive imagery and experimental texture. While primarily non-representational, the painting reveals several dreamlike forms upon closer inspection.
In the bottom right, the gentle silhouette of a white bird—possibly a swan—emerges from soft washes of blue and green, bringing a sense of calm and grace to the composition. On the left-hand side, a haunting blue face appears tucked among the swirling forms, evoking the image of a sleeping or resting figure. These subtle figurative elements are surrounded by vibrant fields of burnt orange, crimson, ochre, and moss green, layered with heavily textured media that adds a sculptural presence to the surface.
Hints of natural forms like petals, clouds, or even earth strata seem to rise from the energetic strokes, creating a sense of movement and mystery. Perard’s work here sits at the intersection of abstraction and subconscious storytelling—each viewer may interpret a different narrative depending on how long they linger.
This highly expressive piece would suit collectors of abstract or surrealist art, and interiors that embrace artistic texture, mystery, and modernist sensibility.
