Jeanne Besnard-fortin (1892-1978) Oil On Canvas Marine The Port Of Granville Normandy Cotentin

What a lovely holiday memory! Very fresh and beautifully luminous, this oil on canvas seems to have been executed on the motif as these colors are so realistic. The weather is calm, a beautiful summer morning in the port of Granville and its "famous three-masted" quay ... It is signed lower left of this artist particularly active in the 1920s, years during which she held trade fair in Paris. In addition, the painting, which bears an exhibition number, is titled on the reverse of the canvas "Port de Granville". Dimensions: 55 cm x 38 cm and 52 cm x 69 with its frame A "landscape" format which perfectly highlights the representation of the quay! Very good state. The painting is on its original canvas. Beautiful and sober Parnassian frame in wood "entirely carved by hand" (as mentioned in a cartouche) whose reliefs are lightly rubbed with gold. The colors are well restored (I never change the color of my photos). For lovers of Normandy and in particular Granville!
