Signed and dated 1955 lower left and further inscribed with the artist's name, date and exhibition location (Paris) number on the reverse. The artist is featured in Anatole Jakovsky's ''Peintres Naïfs'' which is considered the bible of 20th century French naïf painters. His works have sold for upto £5,000 at auction (Still Life of Fruit, Sotheby's, 30 November 2006). Artist: Rastislaw Racoff (French/Russian 1904-1982) Title: Boats on the Beach Medium: Oil on board Size: 20.5 x 17 inches (52 x 43 cm) including the frame After the Russian Revolution Ratislaw Racoff lived first in Northern China and then moved to Paris in 1929. He studied law and worked as a scene painter for the film industry. Racoff spent WW2 in the French army.
