The work represents a marina, a glimpse of the rocky coastline of the
Mediterranean Sea, painted in warm colours.
It is an early 20th century oil painting on panel. Art Deco.
The painting is dated 1934 and signed Léon Zeytline (1885-1962),
a painter born in France but from a Russian family.
Léon Zeytline, a Post-Impressionist painter of Russian origin,
travelled extensively throughout Europe and from Moscow to France.
He loves Paris very much, which he paints a lot. He began to paint everyday life in Paris at that time,
the squares and boulevards, such as the 'Boulevard de l'Opéra' and 'Les Champs Elysées'.
His work is very architecturally precise and he also paints many characters living and working in the city.
Several paintings by Léon Zeytline are preserved in the Carnavalet museums in Paris, Hamburg and Mulhouse.
The painting and the carved and lacquered wooden frame, called Montparnasse, have been restored.
This oil painting on wood has an original carved wooden frame from the early 20th century, coeval with the work.
