Fabulous Midcentury South of France Mediterranean Harbour Scene – South Of France Mediterranean Oil Painting
This exquisite South of France Mediterranean Oil Painting beautifully captures the essence of a South of France coastal scene, transporting viewers to a serene sun-drenched port where life moves at a relaxed, rhythmic pace. This vintage seaside artwork is a masterful portrayal of the picturesque fishing villages of the French Riviera, featuring azure blue waters, colourful boats, and rustic whitewashed buildings with terracotta rooftops.
The artist’s expressive brushstrokes and keen eye for detail bring to life the tranquillity of the Mediterranean, making this piece a perfect addition to any coastal home, vintage art collection, or midcentury-inspired interior.

South Of France Mediterranean Oil Painting – A Timeless Coastal Masterpiece
The focal point of this painting is the harbour’s crystal-clear waters, where a fleet of traditional fishing boats floats gently, their vivid reds, blues, and yellows contrasting against the deep turquoise sea. The artist expertly conveys the movement of the water, reflecting the brilliance of the sun and the soft dance of the ripples. Fishing nets, mooring ropes, and maritime gear are scattered along the quayside, suggesting a day’s work is completed, adding an element of authenticity and character to the composition.
Beyond the boats, a charming row of Mediterranean buildings lines the harbour, their sun-bleached facades glowing in warm ochres, soft creams, and earthy oranges. These structures, reminiscent of Provençal architecture, exude rustic elegance, with wrought-iron balconies, wooden shutters, and cascading bougainvillaea adding charm. The artist has captured the laid-back atmosphere of a French coastal town, making this painting an inviting French Riviera wall art piece that radiates warmth and nostalgia.
Seaside Village Life – A Celebration of Mediterranean Culture
On the quayside, villagers and fishermen are depicted through loose yet expressive brushstrokes, illustrating the bustling yet peaceful rhythm of daily Mediterranean life. Whether mending nets, chatting along the harbour, or preparing to set sail, the figures add a dynamic yet harmonious element to the scene, embodying the spirit of French coastal living.
The inclusion of palm trees, sun-drenched stone streets, and lush greenery enhances the atmosphere, reinforcing the idyllic charm of this vintage seascape painting. Above, the sky stretches in a brilliant shade of Côte d’Azur blue, with soft wisps of white clouds drifting lazily—a perfect evocation of a warm summer day by the sea.

View AllAustralian Sydney Harbour Bridge design Painting 1932

Sydney Harbour poster
Sydney Harbour Bridge poster design
Attributed to Douglas Annand in our opinion, this was an original drawing for the 1932 poster competition.
In 1932, the poster competition committee asked Douglas Annand and Arthur Whitmore to collaborate together to produce the now-famous 19th March 1932 poster.
There are clear similarities between ours and the collaborative poster.
Our design clearly shows more of an Art Deco and feminine design, as opposed to the more masculine, collaborative Sydney Harbour Bridge poster design.
Our drawing is Gouache on paper laid down on the artist's board.
The drawing is in the original frame and mount, dated March 1932 and is unsigned.
