Henry Prite : Pastel "breton Crique"

But who is this Henry Prité ?
Despite all my research, I have not managed to identify this painter near Pont-Aven and the two pastels that we present give an idea of ​​his talent landscape of Brittany ... Although different formats, I chose not to resize the pair of large dark oak frames in which I made them go up.
This second, whose tone-on-tone signature is more difficult to decipher than on the first, offers us a snapshot of the surf in a narrow cove where the waves break, in an extraordinary palette of blues, greens and violets ...
Pastel circa 1910, 35 X 27 cm, mounted in the frame 65 X 51 cm by a single neutral bevel pH card. Other photos and many other objects in our shops in Pau and Biarritz and on our website: galerielhoste.com.
