Jeanne Besnard-fortin (1892-1978) Sailboat In The Port Of Granville Normandy Cotentin

Very fresh, this oil on canvas seems to have been executed on the motif so realistic are its colors. The weather is calm, a beautiful summer morning on the port of Granville, a three-masted ship at the quay. It is signed lower left and titled on the back "Port de Granville". Bears an exhibition number. Beautiful and sober Montparnasse frame in hand-carved wood whose reliefs are lightly rubbed with gold. The painting comes from the artist's studio, containing most of his works, which was dispersed a few years ago. Its "landscape" format perfectly highlights the representation of the quay!
