A very subtle and atmospheric beach scene by French Master L�on Laurent Galand (1872-1960) dating from the 1920s or 30s. Painted in oil on canvas with impasto, this is a lovely composition - I particularly like the two figures on the beach who, in the magnitude of the setting, become apparent only at second glance. L�on Laurent Galand was a French painter and illustrator born in Montpellier in 1872.Having studied with Ernest Michel , Gustave Moreau, Robert Delaunay , Fernand Cormon and Joseph Blanc, he showed his work at the Salon of French artists from 1904, where he obtained numerous medals for his paintings.He also was awarded a second prize of Rome,and was decorated for his achievements with the Legion of Honour in 1924. Works by the artist can be found in Montpellier''s Mus�e Fabr�, the City Hall of Paris'' 5th arronissement, in the collections of the National Academy of Fine Arts in Paris, and in the National Museum of Warsaw.
