A beautiful water landscape with clear, sensitive, and harmonious
nuances of colour. The barges are typically French - compare them to
those in Sisley''s ''Barges at Billancourt'' - and the painting is
certainly French in origin.
Dating from the 1940s and unsigned, it has been suggested that it may
be an early work by Jacques Bouyssou, a French expressionist artist
born in 1926 near Honfleur in Normandy. Bouyssou studied architecture
at the Ecole des Beaux Arts de Troyes, and drawing with the sculptor
Janin. When he moved to Paris to study at the Academie de la Grand
Chaumiere in the studio of Othon-Friesz, he discovered his love for
painting. He was tutored by Friesz, and quickly became a master of
beach and port scenes of Normandy.
Measuring 38 x 46 cm for the canvas, the overall framed size of the
artwork is 49 x 57 cm.
