Description

Naif? Resolutely so. And dead charming with it. The simplest means of expression are often the best, and this little gem beautifully conveys that peaceful, restful summer holiday feeling. And wouldn't it be lovely to have an entire Cote d'Azur promenade to oneself on a sunny day?

Our oil on board dates from circa 1900 and is signed - partly hidden by the rebate of the frame - by "Louise". I remember hearing there was a 19th Century French artist who simply went by the name "Mademoiselle Louise", but I have absolutely no information on her, nor am I certain it is her work.

Measuring 19 x 24 cm, the overall framed size is 23 x 28 cm.

Date of Manufacture

Skippings Fine Arts has dated this French Coastal Oil Painting to the 1900s.

  • ObjectOil Painting
  • Period1900 - 1920
  • StyleFrench Impressionism
  • MaterialOil paint, wood board
  • ColourBlue and beige
  • MotifsVisible impasto brushwork, Coastal promenade scene, Stylised figures and palm trees
  • SizeH 19 cm (7 in) x W 24 cm (9 in) x D 1 cm (0 in)

The French impressionist style is characterised by visible brushstrokes, an emphasis on light and its changing qualities, and ordinary subject matter captured in outdoor settings.

Artists typically used rigid supports such as wood panels, millboard, or heavy cardboard primed with gesso, painted with traditional oil colours.

Authenticity is assessed through examination of the panel material, pigment aging, craquelure patterns, signature analysis, and historical provenance documentation.

Position the framed artwork on a neutral wall or above a sideboard, paired with directional picture lighting to highlight the textured brushwork and colour palette.

Keep paintings away from direct sunlight, maintain stable humidity and temperature levels, and consult a professional conservator for surface cleaning.
