About the Item
Title: Coastal Pier and Harbour Structures at Low Tide Watercolor
Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929)
Medium: Watercolour and Gouache on card unframed
Size (H x W): 5.5 x 11 inches
Condition: Good overall, with light handling marks and soft edge wear consistent with age. No major tears or losses observed.
Provenance: From the artist’s studio sale in France; all works by this artist in our collection originate from the artist’s estate.
Description: This atmospheric watercolor captures a quiet coastal harbour scene, focused on a pier structure extending over shallow water at low tide. Rendered in muted greys, soft browns and restrained washes of blue and ochre, the composition emphasises stillness, space and reflection rather than precise topographical detail.
The pier itself is loosely constructed from vertical posts and crossbeams, their reflections dissolving into the wet surface below. A small elevated hut or lookout structure sits above the waterline, adding a subtle focal point and suggesting human presence without narrative detail. In the distance, low horizontal landforms and faint architectural silhouettes dissolve into the horizon beneath a subdued sky, reinforcing the sense of calm and distance.
The artist’s approach is economical and expressive, allowing washes to bleed and settle naturally across the paper. Negative space is used confidently, particularly in the water and sky, where tonal variation replaces detail. Fine line work anchors the structure of the pier, while softer passages evoke mist, tidal movement and atmosphere.
As there is no inscription identifying a specific location, this work should be understood as an observational or memory-based coastal study rather than a named place. Its ambiguity is part of its appeal, inviting the viewer to project their own associations with harbours, estuaries, and tidal landscapes.
This piece would suit collectors drawn to understated maritime subjects, tonal subtlety, and works that prioritise mood and structure over literal representation.
