Leon Bopp Du Pont : “pinasse On The Basin”

Léon Bopp du Pont (1848-1924): “Pinasse sur le Bassin”, oil on canvas 34 x 46 cm, mounted in a gilded “barbizon” frame 46 x 59 cm. Circa 1880/90, small invisible restoration from the front. Although from Bordeaux, his Master was Harpignies, which we feel in his deference to Nature: half-hidden by the sandy bank, a pinnace awaits its departure for fishing, a few sailboats race in the distance in front of the curve of the coast... The touch of great modernity, close to that of an Auguin, captures in a few brushstrokes this snapshot that we can imagine taken in the early morning.
