"19th Century Gouache Signed And Dated On Framed Paper"
Pretty gouache representing a Marine signed Engalière and dated 1851. The scene is located on the shores of the Mediterranean, a priori in the south of France. It could be the surroundings of Marseille, Toulon, thanks to this old building on the left side. Someone living in this region or knowing this place may be able to light our lantern! This gouache is oval in shape and measures 19 cm x 13.5 cm for the visible part. Overall frame: 33.5 cm x 27 cm. The framework is, a priori, original. The painter Marius Engalière was born in Marseille and died in Paris, 1824-1857; he died very young, 33 years old and had a lot of talent! He painted a lot in Provence, his native region. However, we found a humanized painting (gouache) reminiscent of ours in Gibraltar with a selling price I believe at 2600 euros. We sell it for 950 € and we offer shipping to France. We praise the quality of this work which is beyond reproach, given that our artist produced this work at the age of only 27 years old and 6 years old before dying. What works would he have left us if he had lived to be old ?! REAL TALENT!
