A dynamic 1930s French watercolour and ink drawing, showing the chaotic elegance of a polo match in full swing. Titled ‘La Mêlée’ (The Scrum/The Fray) by the artist, the work piece deftly captures speed and thundering motion with a confident and joyful hand.
The artist uses swift, calligraphic ink lines overlaid with fluid washes of vivid cobalt blue, emerald green, and warm earth tones to convey rapid movement. The style is reminiscent of the French Expressionist painter Gen Paul, sharing his kinetic energy and passion for equestrian subjects.
The work is presented in a classic gold-gilded frame with a generous deep mount, making it ready to hang and immediately. Measuring 19.5 x 25.5 cm, the overall framed size is 34 x 40 cm
